B minor Mass (BWV232) - J.S. Bach

15 August France / Rocamadour

Festival de Rocamadour - opening concert
with Vox Luminis orchestra
No one knows why, at the end of his life, a Protestant composer gathered up all his knowledge and expertise and expanded a previous arrangement of the Kyrie and the Gloria – a so-called Missa brevis from 1733 – into an entire Catholic Mass. It doesn’t matter anyway. The fact is that in this magnum opus, Bach succeeded in combining beauty and polyphonous complexity like never before. 
Bach at his best!
