Mass in B Minor Main Performer or Conductor: Jeffrey Thomas Accompaniment/Orchestra: American Bach Soloists Soloists: American Bach Soloists Instrumentation: Choir Orchestra Individual Works: Complete Mass Format: Unspecified Record Label: Koch Catalog Number: 3-7194-2 y^x2 Year Released/Recorded: 1992 Comments: In 40+ years of listening to Bach (almost exclusively) I have never heard such an imaginative, precise, serious, daring, crisp, intense interpretation of the B-minor Mass. This recording is packed with restrained enthusiasm and absolute reverence for precision. Every note has been carefully studied and, most important, the musical musical director has clearly understood its role in the whole piece. In short, a superb interpretation.
