Chor Des Br/Dijkstra - J. S. BACH: MASS IN B MINOR BWV 232

Even after almost three hundred years, the music of Bach's Mass in B minor is still animated, fresh, and a true Baroque delight � whether heard live in concert or recorded. What makes this concert version of April 2016 in the Herkulessaal of the Munich Residenz so special that it should definitely be added to any CD collection? The fresh voices of the young but excellent vocal soloists: the regularly praised 'astonishing three-dimensionality' and 'crystalline clarity' of the Chor des Bayerischen Rundfunks under the direction of Peter Dijkstra and of course of the renowned period instrument ensemble Concerto K�ln; and last but not least, the exciting live atmosphere of a concert event that delighted the audiences, and even managed to coax the word �magical� from Munich�s music critics � rare praise, but in this case, richly deserved!
