Bach: Mass in B Minor (Herbert Blomstedt) (2017)

Nothing else that he wrote is as all-encompassing as the Mass in B minor, not even the great Passions', says Herbert Blomstedt about Johann Sebastian Bachs Opus summum. The Dresdner Kammerchor and the Gewandhausorchester Leipzig under the musical direction of Herbert Blomstedt have merged ingeniously to conclude the Bachfest Leipzig with this unrivaled work a work that bears close connections to choir and orchestra, as well as to Herbert Blomstedt himself. Recorded at St. Thomas Church, Closing Concert of the Bachfest Leipzig, June 2017.
