Celebrating Bach
Program: Biscuits & Bach
Aired: Sunday, March 18, 2018 @ 7:00 am
Hosted by Rachel Stewart
The Mass in B minor (BWV 232) by Johann Sebastian Bach is a musical setting of the complete Ordinary of the Latin Mass. The work was one of Bach's last compositions, not completed until 1749, the year before his death. This outstanding 2015 release is John Eliot Gardiner’s second recording of the B minor Mass with his English Baroque Soloists and Monteverdi Choir. We'll sample works from the release and celebrate the upcoming 333rd anniversary of Bach’s birth on March 21.
