**** 4 stars from BBC Music Magazine for Three or One❤️ "Utterly beguiles....with self-effacing strings that match Thomas’s penchant for hushed purity...The results can be mesmerising.... an illuminating if idiosyncratic Bachian" classical-music.com/reviews/chambe… ECM Records #threeorone

Thank you to AllMusic for this review of Three or One! "Lyrical and haunting. It's hard to know what Bach would have thought of it, but it does seem to reveal deep secrets in the music, and it is, well, very much like nothing anyone has heard before." allmusic.com/album/js-bach-…

Thank you stern for the review of 'Three Or One'! "..analysts will note the way in which the musicians separate the organ parts as if they were strands of a thread, and those more inclined to a gut response will be touched by Bach’s stillness and grace." ECM Records

A big thanks to Nick Lea at Jazz Views for his review of 'Three or One': "This is a beautiful album that is flawless in its conception and execution and plunges the listener into Bach's world with a fresh perspective and set of ears. Essential listening." ECM Records #bach

Heartfelt thanks to Wolfgang Sandner for the kind review of 'Three Or One' in Frankfurter Allgemeine: "..moments of musical bliss. If we want to carry something positive from the past year into the new one, these contemplative readings of [Bach's] 24 chorales are just the thing." ECM Records

Thanks to Musica Sacra in Germany for the great review of my Bach record 'Three or One': "Not only the structures, but also the spiritual substance of the illuminated works can be grasped unexpectedly clearly in this sonic disassociation." ECM Records #classicalmusic #bach
