Ottawa Bach Choir delivers outstanding performance

BACH: MATTHÄUS-PASSION

Who: Ottawa Bach Choir, Ottawa Children's Choir, Christ Church Cathedral Boys Choir, soloists, Baroque orchestra, Lisette Canton, conductor, Adrian Butterfield, concertmaster
Where: Dominion-Chalmers United Church

OTTAWA — A very full house, probably on the order of 900 listeners, greeted the Ottawa Bach Choir's presentation of Johann Sebastian Bach's St. Matthew Passion. True, some of the corner pews were occupied by members of the two youth choirs collaborating in the performance and no doubt proud relatives accounted for another portion of the audience.

But it's probably safe to say that most people came to hear what promised to be an outstanding performance of one of the greatest works of all music.

It's doubtful that any were disappointed.
