Messe in h-Moll, BWV 232

Album by Johann Sebastian Bach & Karl Richter & Münchener Bach‐Chor & Münchener Bach‐Orchester

The Mass in B minor, BWV 232, is a large-scale sacred composition by Johann Sebastian Bach, completed in 1749. It synthesises Baroque sacred and secular styles through elaborate choral and orchestral scoring, contrapuntal complexity and expressive solo vocal writing, occupying a late-career position as a summation of Bach's achievements in vocal and liturgical music.
