Arcangelo performs Bach’s Mass in B Minor at BBC Proms

Arcangelo, conducted by Jonathan Cohen, performed Bach’s Mass in B Minor at the Royal Albert Hall as part of the BBC Proms on September 10, 2026. To accommodate the large venue, Cohen utilized expanded forces, including an orchestra of 25 strings, four flutes, four oboes, and two bassoons, alongside a choir of 50 singers.

The performance featured soloists Jeanine De Bique (soprano), Eva Zaïcik (mezzo-soprano), Hugh Cutting (counter-tenor), Nick Pritchard (tenor), and Florian Störtz (bass-baritone). Reviewers noted the ensemble’s technical skill and choral bravura, highlighting Hugh Cutting’s performance of the ‘Angus Dei’ and the cohesive rapport between the soloists and the conductor.
