This week we'll hear lots of Bach including several selections from his Mass in B Minor, Bach's last completed work. Since the 19th century, the Mass in B Minor has been considered one of the greatest musical works in history. We'll sample some highlights this week from the excellent 2015 recording made by John Eliot Gardiner and his English Baroque Soloists.
