Harry Bicket, a celebrated interpreter of Baroque repertoire, joins with an exceptional cast to conduct a work that is the pinnacle of that period, Bach’s B Minor Mass. From its elaborate choral fugue on the Kyrie text and the intricate intertwining of voices in the “Crucifixus,” to the explosive “Et resurrexit” and the vigorous “Hosanna in excelsis,” to the exquisitely soaring “Dona nobis pacem,” this music is among the finest expressions of the choral Mass ever written—a masterwork for all times in the hands of a true master.
