Programme

Overview

The Mass in B minor holds a special place even among the choral works of JS Bach. Completed in 1749, one year before the composer’s death, it incorporates music dating from much earlier periods and is often held to provide a summation of his art. For Bach scholar Christoph Wolff, this ‘mighty setting preserved the musical and artistic creed of its creator for posterity.’
