"Under their director, Gary Cooper, they [the Bach Players]
presented wonderfully musical performances...They seemed refreshingly
uninhibited in exploring the emotional and romantic depths inherent in Bach's
music...[They] went beyond scholarly intensity and technical virtuosity to that
hard-to-define coalescence that makes that makes for musical performances of
the highest standard."

"The concerto [in F, by Bach] was given a stunning performance by
Gary Cooper in an outstanding display of playing in which technical virtuosity
and emotional strength never over-powered the musical impulse of the
piece."
