Bach: Mass In B Minor

starring: Gewandhaus Orchestra Leipzig, St. Thomas Boys Choir, Ruth Holton, Matthias Rexroth, Christoph Genz

Release Date December 03, 2001
I highly recommend this. And I profoundly disagree with the comments of the earliest reviewer. Yes, im sure that a more 'perfect' rendering could have been achieved by 'mature' performers singing it for the umpteenth time, in a recording studio. But if you want a wonderfully fresh, moving, enthusiastic performance by a group of young people who are so obviously giving of their very best - then this is the one. To me, this is what music, and music-making, is all about. I loved it.
