Mass in B minor

Available for over a year

This religious work is more a living monument than static composition. It took Bach almost fifty years to create what many consider the greatest of all masses. Highly emotional and majestic musically, it takes some getting used to but its choruses, solos and instrumental music eventually win you over.
