J. S. Bach - Mass in B Minor, St. Thomas Boys Choir, Freiburg Baroque Orchestra

Accentus Music new release on DVD and Blu-ray in March 2014: The Mass in B Minor, Bach's last completed vocal work as well as the climax of his creativity, reveals the overwhelming wealth of his compositional skills. In the history of music it ranks highly, as the "Montblanc of church music" (Franz Liszt) - composed during Bach's time as cantor at the St. Thomas Church in Leipzig. Performed in this important composer's domain, the Mass in B Minor casts a spell over its listeners as the crowning glory of the Leipzig Bach Festival in 2013: Under the direction of Bach's successor Georg Christoph Biller, the St. Thomas Boys Choir and an outstanding soloist quintet perform with the prestigious Freiburg Baroque Orchestra, playing on authentic period instruments.

[climacomonsalve]

IAS obras de Bach son inspiradas por Dios a través del espíritu Santo. Que majestuosas son y este coro de niños y jóvenes son espectaculares. Que belleza de coro.

[hansschroeder]

Brilliant performance and brilliant recording! Compared to the previous DVD (year 2000) this is absolute top! Can't wait to get my hands on it.

[DavesTrumpet]

Great seeing Johannes H. in the soprano section! That remarkable young man is going far with music! Yes! I too can't wait to get my hands on this! If these excerpts are any indication of the rest of the work, this DVD is going to be great!!! Bravo, Thomanerchor!

[mattbod]

I have the earlier Tomener DVD of the Mass at Leipzig (early noughties) on the TDK label. They are still fantastic.

[raulantonionoriegamendivil]

El Gloria es una explosión de júbilo y alabanza por la presencia de Dios en nuestras vidas. El destino del hombre es Jesucristo. ¡Gloria a Dios en las alturas y paz a los hombres de buena voluntad!

_ein kurzes Reinhören genügt um zu merken, dass es niemand besser machen kann_
:
it is enough to listen to it shortly to understand: _nobody can do it better._

[thilovonwatzdorf]

Die Thomaner Sind immer noch die beaten. Dank ich Euch alle.

SIMPLY SAXONY?? I am a 22 year old American who is curious about German traditions and culture, looking for someone in Germany who is interested in talking about these subjects as well. I don't like to argue and I'm NOT into pointless "internet insults" that accomplish nothing. I've visited Germany twice and I just want intelligent conversation with someone who shares an interest in culture, history, and traditions. Vielen dank. :)

Ihr singt wirklich gut ich bin auch im Chor

[gregoryellsmore]

Fabulous - better than Kings College Cambridge, in my humble opinion.

[qasemmohammadi]

Wo kann man das ganze Video anschauen???

[LimePharmacy]

Can anyone tell me the name of the part that those kids are singing.

The brass instruments are pure baroque either exact copies or antique originals. This is not the Gewandhaus Orchestra.
