Mass in B Minor Breitkopf & Hartel Edition

Mass in B Minor Breitkopf & Hartel Edition

The Dunedin Consort, directed by John Butt, add another ground-breaking album to their portfolio. It is a revealing, soloist-led performance, like no other which was named 'Editor's Choice' by Gramophone. Bach's Mass in B Minor is undoubtedly his most spectacular choral work and the Dunedin Consort's performance enables a level of clarity and expression that is not traditionally a feature of modern choral performance. The five soloists, sopranos Susan Hamilton and Cecilia Osmond, alto Margot Oitzinger, tenor Thomas Hobbs and bass Matthew Brook, give virtuosic performances full of musicality.
