Messe in h-Moll

Album by Johann Sebastian Bach & Gundula Janowitz & Christa Ludwig & Peter Schreier & Robert Kerns & Karl Ridderbusch & Wiener Singverein & Berliner Philharmoniker & Herbert von Karajan

Messe in h-Moll is a Mass in B minor by Johann Sebastian Bach, completed in 1749. The work synthesises a wide range of Baroque vocal and instrumental forms, including intricate counterpoint, substantial choral movements, solo arias and orchestral passages, and represents a late-career, large-scale liturgical setting that consolidates material and approaches from Bach's earlier cantatas and church compositions.
First released: 1974
