An exceptional line-up of musicians performs one of the great masterpieces of Western music: Bach’s monumental Mass in B minor.
Renowned for its revelatory performances of this repertoire, the peerless period instrumentalists of the OAE delve deeper and reveal new colours in Bach’s great statement of faith. Václav Luks makes his debut with the orchestra and is joined by a stellar group of soloists.
