Bach's Mass in B Minor presented by Boston Baroque

Boston Baroque’s period-instrument orchestra and chorus perform Johann Sebastian Bach’s Mass in B minor, BWV 232, led by founding music director Martin Pearlman. Recorded live on October 15, 2022, at GBH’s Calderwood Studio in Boston, this performance opened Boston Baroque’s 50th season and features sopranos Amanda Forsythe and Sonja Tengblad, mezzo-soprano Tamara Mumford, tenor Nicholas Phan, and bass-baritone Kevin Deas. Bringing together music composed over about 25 years, Bach’s Mass in B minor pairs brilliant choral writing with intimate arias and expressive instrumental solos. From the opening Kyrie to the jubilant Gloria and the closing plea for peace, Dona nobis pacem, the work reveals the extraordinary range of Bach’s musical imagination.
