About

What to expect

Bach composed his Mass in B minor at the end of his life, and it is described as one of his most ambitious works and a musical testament.

The work is a compendium of very different musical genres and styles and partly returns to earlier compositions, the oldest from 1724 and 1733.

  • From dramatic opening to moving Kyrie
  • Jubilant Gloria
  • A particularly evocative mass
  • Philippe Herreweghe and Collegium Vocale Gent perform
