…The Michaelstein Chamber Choir fascinated with a homogen sound, with impressing presentation of dynamic differences. …In all pieces the choir performed the intention of the word under the sensitive leading of its conductor Sebastian Göring….

…Outstanding choir impressed: …Praiseworthy was the accurate articulation and the dominant sopranos, who where supported by the tenors and the basses. …The last piece… triumphed with its low voiced beginning, which brought the air to tremble after a strong crescendo from piano to fortefortissimo in the soprano's voice, so that the audience did not need much creativity to imagine the in that piece mentioned bands of angels. The soprano voices were supported by warm, harmonic bass voices…

…From sound and articulation even more convincing the Michaelstein Chamber Choir showed up and was conducted by Sebastian Göring…. Rather seldom appearing these days are the works by Karg-Elert, whose short Requiem movement the choir formulated impressingly like a mystery and left it behind in the audience hall.

…The Michaelstein Chamber choir succeeded better, whose turn it was to perform in the two oratorios "Freuet euch des Herrn, ihr Gerechten" (1724) and "Jauchze, jubiliere und singe" (1730) by Telemann. Splendid composed by Telemann are the annually performed celebration music of the Hamburgische Bürgerwache, comparable with Handel in style and therefore closely related to the Italian musical language. Under the leading conduction of Ludger Remy the members of the choir met exactly this mood, which illustrates a secular festival in a protestant Hamburg. One must not forget to mention the grandiose, chromatic, deeply afflicted choral piece "Es ist Trauren besser denn Lachen" as well as the final choral and chorus.

The Michaelstein Chamber Choir, conducted by Sebastian Göring, and the Telemannisches Collegium Michaelstein with its artistic leader Ludger Remy […] left no further wishes open. […] We […] experienced, that some members of the choir mastered the solo parts excellently. An example too for the extraordinary quality of this ensemble. […] If there was something which convinced the audience even more, than there is to mention the co-operation between the two ensembles, the outstanding Michaelstein Chamber choir and […] the Telemannisches Collegium Michaelstein.

…With sounds like hammerbeats the choir, consisting of Mühlheimer Kantorei, Chorus Musicus Köln und Michaelstein Chamber Choir, announced the Doomsday. It opened abysses, intonated a touch of prayer, of begging and designed marvelous visions of the hereafter.
