Bach: Motets

One of the world's leading liturgical choirs, the Saint Thomas Choir of Men & Boys of Fifth Avenue, New York, with their renowned director John Scott, begin a major new collaboration with Resonus Classics with this new and exciting recording of Motets by J.S. Bach.

Representing a vital cornerstone of Baroque choral repertoire these seven Motets are often emotive, joyous, intensely virtuosic, and are some of the most accomplished and sublime of Bach's many musical achievements.

'The tone of the New York trebles is sweet and healthy. Fans of the cathedral choir sound will relish an old fashioned large forces performance with organ, cello and violone continuo'
BBC Music Magazine

"The Choir of St Thomas's, New York fields nearly 50 singers. Half of these are boy trebles, so the top line is always sustained smoothly…John Scott's measured pacing yields harmonic clarity during the alternating double-choir sections in Komm, Jesu, komm…the New York recording yields a gently profound effect."
