Description:

A vivid interpretation of Bach through a precisely unified and magnificent ensembleBachs Mass in B minor is a monumental work with objective and universal content, composed with an interfaith perspective that transcends conventional notions of church music. Although the individual movements were composed separately over a period of more than 20 years, the work is known as a pinnacle of religious music, brought together by the late Bach using the full range of his compositional techniques. Gardiner recreates this masterpiece with a performance characterized by a clear sense of structure, offering an interpretation that should serve as a standard for both contemporary Bach performances and the performance of religious music.Universal Music/IMS
