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.

- A further addition in the highly successful series co-produced with the Swiss Radio
