Bach   Mass in B Minor, BWV 232

Johann Sebastian Bach’s Mass in B minor, completed in the final year of his life, is widely regarded as his ultimate masterpiece. This monumental work seamlessly weaves together a lifetime of his brilliant cantata settings into an extraordinary narrative of faith and human emotion. It stands as the perfect, breathtaking realisation of Bach’s inventive musical genius. Experience the awe of Bach’s choral writing as an exceptional lineup of vocal soloists joins the acclaimed, period-style agility of Yorkshire Baroque Soloists.

‘The sense of uninhibited joy and praise is exhilarating … This excellent performance ranks among the best’ (BBC Music Magazine on Yorkshire Bach Choir’s recording of Bach’s Mass in B Minor)

In association with York Early Music Christmas Festival and Yorkshire Bach Choir.
