Gewandhaus/Blomstedt - Johann Sebastian Bach: Mass in B minor

Nothing else that he wrote is as all-encompassing as the Mass in B minor, not even the great Passions', says Herbert Blomstedt about Johann Sebastian Bach�s Opus summum. The Dresdner Kammerchor and the Gewandhausorchester Leipzig under the musical direction of Herbert Blomstedt have merged ingeniously to conclude the Bachfest Leipzig with this unrivaled work � a work that bears close connections to choir and orchestra, as well as to Herbert Blomstedt himself. Recorded at St. Thomas Church, Closing Concert of the Bachfest Leipzig, June 2017.
