From the Royal Albert Hall, a performance of Bach's Mass in B minor, one of the great milestones of baroque music. Bach intended this glorious work, completed the year before his death, to be a summation of his church music, incorporating material from earlier compositions to great effect. Performed by The English Concert and Choir of the English Concert conducted by Harry Bicket. Presented by Charles Hazlewood.
