Reaching far beyond specific religious tenets, the B Minor Mass epitomizes Bach’s supreme artistry and is among Western civilization’s great artistic achievements. The Mass abounds with creative energy, structural brilliance, and private and collective expressions of faith. New Yorker music critic Alex Ross writes: “What seems so extraordinary about this work, along with other monuments of Bach’s sacred writing, is that it captures the human and the inhuman in equal measure.”
