Concentus musicus Wien, Nikolaus Harnoncourt

“So, apart from its importance as a document of its age, this is a version which still has much to say to us now. It has little of the sheen and polish of present-day recordings but a raw commitment and lithe pioneering spirit which is often intoxicating” Gramophone Magazine

Cappella Amsterdam & Orchestra of the 18th Century, Frans Brüggen (direction)

20 years after the Orchestra of the 18th Century’s first engagement on tour with Bach’s Mass in B minor, a work which has for so long captivated the inquiring mind and interpretative insight of Frans Brüggen, a new tour was conceived through which to provide a fresh view of the piece. Setting down a recorded view during tours has always been key to this orchestra’s musical expression and last year the opportunity was taken at an exciting concert in the Polish capital of Warsaw: a city and a country with whom director and orchestra have long and treasured memories. Accompanying the CD set is a booklet essay from David Vickers which provides a scholarly and eminently-readable account of the social as well as the musical background to the composition of the individual parts of a piece whose unity has provided the world with one of its greatest works of musical art. This new recording is more than a 20th anniversary celebration, reflecting as it does Frans Brüggen’s lifelong desire to understand and project the work of J.S. Bach.
