The Beserkley performance wasn't sold out, but the Hall was pretty full and the audience VERY enthusiastic. The first part did get pretty
intense, then a break for nearly 20 minutes to sell vino I suppose and then the last 20 minutes. Bad timing for a break and they should have
just played through; we could have handled it!
Ton Koopman was having a great time!
I agree about the pacing and the performance here was also wonderful and satisfying. I thought the choir was particularly sublime.
Would have preferred to hear it in the local Church where Cal Performances books some of their programs. The acoustics in the Church
are much more warmly hospitable than the more neutral/concrete Zellerbach.
Glad you also enjoyed it; it's a marvelous experience!
