Mass in b minor BWV 232

A wonderful cast for a stunning performance of the famous Bach's Mass in B minor. Five of the
best voices in the baroque field join one of the leading baroque chorus in Europe and one of the
most well known Italian instrumental ensemble in a first class recording based on a live
performance in Lugano, Switzerland. ARTS' Authentic series enriches itself with a major issue
that follows the other highly successful productions released in co-production with the Swiss
Radio (among them Bach's Magnificat and Cantata BWV 21, Purcell's Ode for St.Caecilia's
Day, Carissimi's Oratorios). This is a performance that offers a "new" Bach, following a
conception closer to the southern European tradition. The chorus, composed by 16 well known
soloists of baroque music and the orchestra, which includes the best Italian continuo players,
give a special character to the performance, placing it far away from the usual German tradition.
A double CD-set, not to be missed by anyone who loves the baroque music on philological
performance.
