Gli Angeli Genève

The Mass in B is regarded as the synthesis of Johann Sebastian Bach's choral art and is in fact a huge monument built stone by stone between 1724 and 1748-1749, the last years of his life. Here Bach takes up the five parts of the mass ritual Kyrie - Gloria - Credo - Sanctus - Agnus Dei and organizes a progression from the solemn cry for help of the first Kyrie to the final chord full of confidence and power of Dona nobis pacem. Given the dimensions of the work, it is easy to understand that this mass had no liturgical purpose, but was conceived by Bach as a comprehensive reflection, a kind of musical testament.
