“The choirs, singing under Thomas Hengelbrock’s majestic direction their voices embodied by the corps de ballet, remained in the pit alongside the magnificent musicians of the Balthasar Neumann Ensemble, who play on historical instruments.”
Le Figaro

“The other gem in this production can be found in the pit: the enthu- siastic Balthasar Neumann Ensemble, directed by Thomas Hengelbrock. Hengelbrock’s conducting is second to none when it comes to transmitting a sensuous vocality to his musicians, and thus offering the singers the greatest gift of all.”
La terasse

“Under Thomas Hengel- brock’s theatrical direction, musicians and listeners were transported into a trance-like state.” diapason
