Mass in B minor

Album by Johann Sebastian Bach & Nancy Argenta & Catherine Denley & Mark Tucker & Stephen Varcoe & Collegium Musicum 90 & Richard Hickox

The Mass in B minor is a large-scale sacred choral composition by German composer Johann Sebastian Bach, completed in 1749. Scored for soloists, choir and orchestra, it assembles earlier and newly composed movements into an extended Baroque setting characterised by intricate counterpoint and diverse vocal and instrumental textures, serving as a late culmination of Bach's sacred music output and a synthesis of his compositional techniques.
First released: 26th July 1994
