J.S. BACH: Die Hohe Messe, Mass in B Minor BWV232 [CD de audio] Diego Fasolis and J.S.Bach

The Mass in B minor by Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) is undoubtedly one of the most impressive works in the history of music. It is considered the quintessence of his musical creation, at the same time it was a work very advanced for its time: the composer probably never heard the complete mass (also because it exceeded the possibilities of the Lutheran liturgy); It was not until the 1830s that complete presentations of the mass began to be carried out with some timidity. This licensed recording (originally released in 1997 on the Swiss Arts label) was highly praised by critics and features a true all-star lineup among the singers: Roberta Invernizzi, Lynn Dawson, Gloria Banditelli, Klaus Mertens and Christoph Prégardien harmonize excellently with the warm sound of the original Swiss instrument ensemble Sonatori de la Gioiosa Marca under the direction of Diego Fasolis.
