About "Grosse Messe 1739 für Bach und Luther"

​

Thüringer Allgemeine (read the full article here)

​

"This masterpiece was achieved by the brilliant organist and conductor Wouter Dekoninck. And with him, the Hildebrandt Consort from Belgium, which plays in the highest league internationally"

​

"It opens with the Prelude in E-flat major BWV 552, performed by Dekoninck with a vivid articulation and shiny sound on the large Trost organ."

​

"[...] after about two hours of high enjoyment and deep spiritual immersion, this 'Große Messe' came to an end."

 

"The audience thanked Hildebrandt Consort with long, repeatedly trampling applause."

About "[BACH]²: The Art of Transcription"

​

Klassiek Centraal

​

"Wouter Dekoninck is a man with a mission."

​

"Dekoninck is a gifted organist, transcriber and pedagogue."

​

"The hall was sold out long in advance and expectations were high after Jean Rondeau's previous concert.  The answer can only be positive: Sunday 23 October was an afternoon of top-notch baroque."
