Public

Mass in B minor, BWV 232

Approved

Choral music offers few loftier spiritual or artistic challenges than Bach’s Mass in B minor – but then, few living performers are better equipped to tackle it than Baroque music specialist and scholar John Butt, and the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment. ‘If any piece of classical music can be considered universal, I think it’s the Mass in B minor,’ says Butt. ‘It goes down so well across a wide range of cultures.’ Five exceptional soloists (including counter-tenor Iestyn Davies and soprano Mary Bevan) join Butt and the OAE as they drive to the emotional core of this sublime music – and lay bare the passionate, profoundly devoted heart of the man who wrote it.
