Johann Sebastian Bach’s Mass in B minor is regarded by many as one of the supreme achievements of Western classical music. Even before its first complete performance, the Swiss music historian and publisher Hans Georg Nägeli described it as the “greatest musical masterpiece of all times and nations”. Many scholars believe that, along with the Art of Fugue and the Musical Offering, the work presents a summation of Bach’s musicianship as well as the most glorious presentation of the composer’s deeply held religious beliefs. Much of the Mass gave new form to vocal music that Bach had composed throughout his career, some of which was not from sacred sources (a point of contention for Leipzig churchgoers). The Kyrie and Gloria (known as the “Missa”) had been written as an application for the post of court composer at Dresden. The remaining movements, the Sanctus, Benedictus and Agnus Dei, turn the “Missa” into a “Missa tota”: the full setting of the Ordinary of the Mass.
In the Kyrie, Bach explores three different forms of musical expression in an impassioned entreaty for God’s mercy. He brings in trumpets and drums to sing the praises of the Lord in the Gloria, Credo and Sanctus, and, as so often before, saves one of his most exquisite and poignant musical phrases to express the idea of peace in the ‘et in terra pax’. The dramatic contrast forged between the ‘Crucifixus’ and ‘Et resurrexit’ movements of the Credo serve as a dramatic representation of the Christian statement of belief, and the lamenting Agnus Dei aria gives way to a exultant chorus of ‘Dona nobis pacem’ (Grant us thy peace), bringing the vast score to its conclusion. René Jacobs directs the Akademie für Alte Musik Berlin in this reading, which was described as “Spacious and intimate … a compelling performance” by the BBC Music Magazine following its first release.
The Reissue of one of the finest recordings of Bach’s “Hohe Messe’!
This “compelling performance..spacious and intimate” (Gramophone) boasts of a line‐up of famous soloists: Christoph Prégardien, Matthias Goerne, Bernarda Fink and Hillevi Martinpelto, singers of world renown who have amply won their spurs in Early Music. René Jacobs and his Akademie für Alte Musik Berlin and the Rias Kammerchor count among the best (if not THE best..) of Baroque ensembles and choirs around the world.

This and the St Matthew Passion - so different - yet both summits of western music
If I were stranded on a distant planet by myself and could have one piece of music, this would be it.
Absolutely!
1:47:03 this is what I think heaven sounds like when you first get there and it welcomes you - as you walk in and see all of your loved ones from the past that have been waiting for you, embracing you with their wonderful and warm spirits. The light is beautiful, and as you continue, you feel as if you are floating, light as a feather--then you realize that you will be in happiness for eternity and experience no more pain and sadness, and all of your earthly problems, ailments and troubles are no more.
Very interesting. I always thought heaven would sound like Beethoven’s Gloria from Missa Solemnis. Like a thousand angels singing perfectly in all their different parts, angels quickly flying by…
This is such a heavenly music... Bach must have been ordained by God to compose music like this..,
I believe it was the cellist Pablo Casals who said ... "Bach is the God of Music."
Heavenly music? Massive understatement.
@VDMA - Bach has been described by many as the "God of music", with apologies to God.
In a word, he was the greatest musical genius ever, even by his keyboard music alone.
Bach said it himself that it is God who writes the music through him
@That Lutheran Guy
A "devout Lutheran" who made a Catholic Mass (hear the Credo: "credo in unam sanctam catholicam et apostolicam ecclesiam" etc.) his masterwork though....
@That Lutheran Guy If you say so, 👌
It's really quite astounding how far backwards music has gone. Personally, I am a lifelong drummer and I listen to a lot of heavy/technical music that is fun to play drums to, but I could never stop listening to the masterpiece classical music of the greats like Bach. He was on an entirely different level than the rest of us. It's crazy to me how the highly complex/technical classical music of 200-600 years ago was so much more advanced than what most people are creating today. I think a big part of that is just the mass amount of knowledge acumulated during a time where music was taken much more seriously than it is today, and how it was passed down through avant-garde instructors. I suppose after extremely basic "Rock & Roll" music took over, this type of composing just stopped being innovated upon for the most part and popular music went in another direction. 🤷♂
Your comment, coming from a musician grounded on pop music, a drummer, is very insightful.
My friend, every period in human history, is marked by the spirit of the epoch, the Zeitgeist, and the best harvest of music belongs to the old masters (between sixteenth century and twentieth century).
Unlike the visual arts, which reached the pinnacle of perfection during the glorious years of the Ancient Greeks, and then again during the Renaissance, but between these two epochs, humanities have suffered the eternal recurrence of the dark ages.
Unfortunately, every great civilization, as evinced in the great golden age of people long gone in the backyard of history, will come to an end, and with it, Johann Sebastian Bach will be remembered anymore than a ancient deity in the Parthenon of the great spirits.
It is heartbreaking that the fate of great souls, such as Bach, Carl Orff, Chopin, Beethoven, among others, is already written in the wailing winds of history.
O Fortuna, the great Germany of Bach is long gone already…
I find myself here today drummer myself.
The glorious time of tonal music is gone. Some nooks and crannies, unturned stones, may remain untouched, hither and thither, for the few inspired composers who may claim to have composed “something new” (as it is the case of child prodigy Alma Deutsche).
Sergei Rachmaninoff and Carl Orff, are perhaps the last serious composers of tonal music, and much of their output, if original could be called, has been but further elaboration (pastiches) based on the works and loins of previous composers.
Indeed! Tonal music is limited, its wellspring of infinite number of melodies and harmonies is limited, what is not limited is the agreeable effects, their boundless scope in which they impress our imagination, and “how and why” this musical experience is felt in our mind and heart is one of the profoundest mysteries of consciousness and sentience.
We know that the lower pitches and timbres, bass-line, percussion, tumbas, drums, brass, et. al., could remind us of the lower brushstrokes and struggles in this universal will to exist, in coming to being: metals and minerals being the lowest most ponderous sounds; and as we ascend through the kingdom of plants and animals, the registration of musical instruments seems to speak of a greater and richer multiplicity and multifariousness in all the life-forms, where we, human beings (possessing intelligence, consciousness and sentience) may appear like the crowning achievement of this awesome creation.
The highest timbres and pitches (such as in the music of Wagner), the melody-line, as the upper strings ever piercing our hearts and minds with strangest feelings of elation and well-being, may remind us the felicitous triumph of consciousness and sentience in all the biological dynamics of Mother Nature.
what do I know really, but I have some thoughts on this; i think the classical era was a time when both for better and worse music was very restrictive, and all of the masters were striving toward this idea of music that is objectively, undeniably, the best of the best. this was not a time for DIY, everything’s subjective, there’s no rules when it comes to art. it’s something I struggle with a lot as someone that has always admired rule-breakers, self taught weirdos and the like who were not interested in following the rules, and certainly we can’t deny there’s an entire avenue of genius that runs along those lines of breaking molds in the name of following one’s own sense of creative honesty. that being said, the older I get, the more I listen to something like Bach and think yes, it doesn’t matter if you like it or not, it is objectively of the highest aesthetic integrity. I would like to think if one was able to say this to Bachs face he’d probably look at you like “Yeah? Duh? What do you think I was trying to do all that time?”.
Mostly has to do with the powers that were trynna hide & take all the knowledge from us so bc of their evil acts music went down south
✝️ Ad maiorem Dei gloriam. Thank you Brilliant Classics.

Bach was a genius, Handel also as I think of the Messiah.
Thank God and His Church for inspiring such beautiful music!
Абсолютно совершенно гениальное произведение всех времён и народов!
Thank you all for sharing this beautiful music with the public!
¡Es el cielo!....gracias
It's heaven...thanks
Bach de toute beauté, magnifique interprétation ,merci
The beginning makes me think I have met my Maker, been judged unworthy, and sent to the depths of Hell itself. I repent!!! Please say it is not too late!!!
Not for now! You still have chance to accept Jesus Christ and His Church while you live! Repent indeed and work out your salvation, love others and love God
Never
too late. Salvation is today
JS Bach LOVED God. It's in the music.
En dépit de sa diversité stylistique, Bach était avant tout un compositeur d'esthétique expressionniste, toujours proche du drame, de la profondeur, de l'angoisse et la vision profonde et tourmentée de la vie qui semble émaner de la métaphysique de l'homme comme de sa même nature profonde 🕊
Ausgezeichnet !
Extraordinary - 00:43:07 Mass in B Minor BWV 232, Pt. 1: X. Aria. Qui sedes ad dexteram Patris (Alto). Excellently performed.
Awesome.
Gracias. A una hora de entrar a escuchar esta misa en la Filarmónica de Berlín.
It is heavenly.
As an avid classical music fan, I'm kinda ashamed I never heard this till now... I'm also kinda lucky...
New finds are always great, especially when they are one of the most significant masterworks ever written
Lucky blighter

I'm working at a rebuilding project for a Clandestine Church in Rotterdam (Netherlands) with a rich baroque interior : The St Rosaliakerk designed by Carlo Francesco Giudici a Italian architect that lived into Netherlands since 1770 untill his death in 1819 .
The church was builded between 1777 and 1779 but destroyed at the Rotterdam Blitz at 05/14/1940. I started at May 1 2016 and i'm still not finnished. But when the church will come back and will be rebuilded, then i do want that this mass wil be sung and also Gregorian Chant for the Asperges Me, Introritus, Graduale, Alleluia, Offertorium, and Communio.
Thats great but there are no priests

“Bach's music is the only argument proving the creation of the Universe cannot be regarded as a complete failure. Without Bach, God would be a complete second-rate figure.”
Emil Cioran
just wow 40:37
What a wonder.
[The Mass was described in the 19th century by the editor Hans Georg Nägeli as "The Announcement of the Greatest Musical Work of All Times and All People" ("Ankündigung des größten musikalischen Kunstwerkes aller Zeiten und Völker").[47] Despite being seldom performed, the Mass was appreciated by some of Bach's greatest successors: by the beginning of the 19th century Forkel and Haydn possessed copies. ]
This work of Bach captures the long lost mystique and gravitas of the pre-Vatican II Catholic Church. Can we live sanely in a world with NO transcendence ?
EL FILOSOFO CIORAN DICE QUE GRACIAS A BACH DIOS EXISTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The way I hear it, Miguel, all of Bach IS about Christ. I cannot think of a composer for whom this connection--is so tightly exemplified. I would dare say that Bach's music is not an expression of life in Christ, it is His life in Christ. Think for instance what his best music is here in his Passions & in the Cantatas. All about Christ.
Equivocado, por Dios es que Bach existe
@@hectordanielsanchezcobo7713Cioran argument is more subtle, see the quote...

This is more like it. No grandstanding.
Does as anyone know the year this was recorded?
I've become interested in the differences between the less and more historically accurate interpretations of Bach's music.
I generally prefer the less I'm afraid. I find the slower movements and larger choirs more dramatic.
Release date is 2015. Academy of Early Music, Berlin. Pitch is A=422, high voices in the choir are boys and men, and it sounds like all period instruments. So probably as historically accurate as they can make it, except maybe the soprano solo could be a boy.

@@BrilliantClassics was Bach an innie or an outtie? Talking about belly buttons here.
Look up "Mass Ordinary". That should do it.
my teacher made me listen to this whole thing
hahaha same!
I wasn't even going to add a comment till I noticed "Vatican Catholic". Strange but amusing. I just decided to listen to it because it's a great piece of music, regardless of religious beliefs (or lack of). With all due respect, religious proselytizing really is out of line. I recommend listening to everything you can written by this great composer. Unfortunately (even with being raised Catholic) I don't follow religious denominator of music of any genre I listen to so I cannot recommend any Catholic composers even though I'm sure there are plenty and I've probably even listened to them. But I couldn't tell you who they are because it doesn't cross my mind. I did. I do wonder if "Vatican Catholic"listens to other types of music besides classical because I truly would like to see a long"in depth" posting on what he thinks of Prince being a Jehovah witness and see what category you throw him into. Thanks to anyone who read through my diatribe
Mozart was Catholic, and wrote most of a mass himself. Bach is unique in that he wrote a full mass while being Lutheran, which practices Luther's reformed Mass, which is generally shortened these days. There were few differences between traditional mass in both traditions (corporate confession and the words of institution among them), and to this day many high Lutherans, high anglicans, and Catholics can find unity in liturgy.
@@TrumpeterOnFire Mozart composed several Masses. It was a Requiem Mass which he left unfinished. Haydn composed Masses. Beethoven, and many more composed Masses, some long, like this one, some short with little or no repetition of the text.
A lot of amazing composers were Catholic! And guess where can you hear their beautiful pieces every Sunday? At your local Traditional Latin Mass!
Bach was a freemason. So while he outwardly declared catholic-ism, he was actually much smarter than that.
@@steiwe5648 do you mean Mozart? I know Mozart was catholic and a Mason, but I thought Bach was Lutheran?
