Bach’s towering masterpiece, the Mass in B Minor has long been one of Yorkshire Bach Choir’s favourite pieces and a regular feature of the choir’s programming. Bach brought together some of his greatest and most exuberant music to provide a glorious celebration of the Baroque.
What the press said
“…warm-toned, well-sustained choral singing; meticulously articulated instrumental work…” The Times
“The blending and attack are exemplary…a continuity of tone between chorus and soloists which is utterly beguiling.” Choir and Organ Magazine
“The sense of uninhibited joy and praise is exhilarating…This excellent performance ranks among the best.” BBC Music Magazine
“Seymour’s encouragement to follow the meaning of each line with unstudied conviction [is] most beautifully realised in the irradiating mysteries of the ‘Et incarnatus’ and ‘Crucifixus’.” Gramophone, November 2011
