J S Bach’s Mass in B minor is arguably the greatest religious work from the Baroque period and sums up his career as a composer: it was compiled in old age from works written over the previous 40 years. This performance, with a distinguished cast of soloists, a small choir and a Baroque orchestra, incorporates recent advances in our knowledge of how such works were performed in the eighteenth century.

‘Peter Holman, directing from the harpsichord, inspired a lithe and enjoyable performance’—The Observer
