Bach's B
minor Mass is among the
greatest and most
ambitious works of all
time. The various stages
of composition of the
Mass occupied the
composer for over two
decades: beginning with
the Sanctus (1724), by
way of the Missa of 1733,
to the remaining
movements of the
Ordinary, which were
composed during his last
years. Thus the Mass, in
its wealth of forms with
arias, duets, as well as
concertante and fugal
choruses, displays the
essence of Bach's skill
and personal style. The
greatest musical work of
art of all times and all
peoples (to quote the
enthusiastic Hans Georg
Nageli, who first edited
the Mass in 1818) and one
of the most demanding
choral works in the
repertoire is presented
by Frieder Bernius, the
Kammerchor Stuttgart and
the Barockorchester
Stuttgart in a stellar
recording based on the
principles of historical
performance practice
(Carus 83.211). Awarded
the Gramophone - Editor's
Choice. Score and part
