Revelatory B minor Mass from the Auckland Philharmonia and Stephen Layton

Simon Holden, 22nd October

The Mass in B minor was completed in 1749, the year before Bach’s death. Much of the work consists of music Bach composed much earlier in his life (the Kyrie and Gloria from one of the Lutheran Masses). The sections he added latter were among the last things he wrote before he died.
