J. S. Bach Mass in B Minor

J.S. Bach’s Mass in B Minor should have been titled ‘Bach’s Greatest Hits!’ He considered this to be his best work, or movements which he had allowed to develop over time. Never performed complete in his lifetime, the work is in effect Bach’s own self-obituary, how he wanted to be remembered by the world. If you have never heard it live, this is absolutely one concert you must not miss. ‘It is the best of him, and that brings out the best in us.’ (Christopher Monks)
