About

Bach's B minor Mass is among the greatest and most ambitious works of all time. The various stages of composition of the Mass occupied the composer for over two decades. The Mass, in its wealth of forms with arias, duets, concertante and fugal choruses, displays the essence of Bach's skill and personal style.
 
The "greatest musical work of art of all times and all peoples" (to quote Hans Georg Nägeli, who first edited the Mass in 1818) and one of the most demanding choral works in the repertoire is presented by Frieder Bernius and the Kammerchor Stuttgart in a stellar recording based on the principles of historical performance practice.
