About

A visionary synthesis of the art of a composer who, here more than anywhere else, gives meaning to the world in which he lives, and reveals to us something of what lies beyond, the Mass in B minor is one of the supreme peaks of Bach’s music.

Raphaël Pichon and his ensemble Pygmalion explore this universe which gives utterance to the mysteries of incarnation and death.

Reviews

As the starting point, the music is taken entirely on its own terms – essentially Pichon’s personal vision – and so the well-rehearsed tropes of established ‘period’ vocabulary are quietly jettisoned for the freshly minted. ... Much of the enchantment resides within the solos. It’s hard not to mention something particularly striking about all of them. ... This B minor Mass is really up there with the very best.  Jonathan Freeman-Attwood
