“Conductor Alexander Platt drew fiery playing and singing from his orchestra, from Mark Aamot’s Jubilate Chorale, and from soprano Ami Bouterse, mezzo Kathleen Sonnentag, tenor Stuart Mitchell and bass Peter Van de Graaff. Their sound, in the live acoustics of the old, stone church, rose to hair-raising at the peaks. The quiet valleys were just as compelling.” [Mozart’s Litaniae de venerabili altaris sacramento] Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

“In the Mass [Bach’s Mass in B minor], Mark Aamot’s excellent Jubilate Chorale was a pliant instrument in Platt’s hands, as he shaped the contours of big landscape and the ever-shifting details of foreground and background." Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

“The Chorale’s performance set a general tension and excitement, while retaining a natural flow without artificiality...the songs were exquisitely done with careful articulation and tonal purity.” Waukesha Freeman

“The Chorale acquitted itself splendidly at every turn. Not only did the singers project convincing exuberance, they worked continually as an ensemble sure of its technical and textural intentions.” Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

“Aamot did a masterful job of bringing out and shaping the long lyrical lines that Brahms loved to write.” Waukesha Freeman
