Written across two decades and completed in Bach's final years, the Mass in B Minor is the glorious summation of an extraordinary musical life and one of the greatest creative achievements of all time. Don't miss this work of sublime beauty and transcendent power, performed with the insight and deep commitment that Music of the Baroque always brings to Bach's sacred masterpieces.
"...from the opening bars of the Kyrie to the final outpouring of praise in the Dona Nobis Pacem .. this is a singularly intimate as well as noble B minor Mass" (Chicago Sunday Times)
