Admired for its colossal dimensions, Bach's Mass in B Minor is a powerful musical experience, particularly in the hands of Jeffrey Thomas and American Bach Soloists where it benefits from passionate performances and a startlingly clear recording that seems to capture each voice and each instrument. An imaginative yet exacting interpretation of the Mass, this 2 CD release reflects ABS' reverence for precision, but also exuberance for the piece as a whole. "A joyous new performance," says The Washington Post. Full liner notes included with download purchase.
