Proms 2012 Prom 26: Bach – Mass In B Minor by Bach, J. S., С (2012/2012), Дирижёр Harry Bicket, Royal Albert Hall, Лондон, Великобритания

One of the great choral classics of Western classical music, Bach’s Mass in B minor, under Baroque specialist Harry Bicket. Having restored choral music to the forefront of his ensemble’s recent activities, Baroque specialist Harry Bicket returns to the Proms hotfoot from the 2012 Leipzig Bachfest with one of music’s great milestones. Since its rediscovery by 19th-century Romantics, Bach’s Mass in B minor has been continually reimagined, most recently with an injection of period-style agility and buoyancy. Still the mysteries remain, as befits a testament through which the composer seemingly intended to carve out his unique place in cultural history.
