Product Description
It is with great delight that CORO announces the release of the first of two new recordings of J.S. Bach s Lutheran Masses by The Sixteen.
The fact that The Sixteen has not performed or recorded such a wealth of Bach s music in nearly 20 years makes this a uniquely exciting project! Sometimes called Missa brevis, the Masses are almost entirely made up of movements borrowed from Bach s Cantatas but, while they are often overshadowed by the more famous Mass in B minor, the beauty of these short Masses is that they represent Bach s own choice of his finest Cantata movements. Despite their exquisite beauty, featuring splendid choruses and deeply moving arias, there
are relatively few recordings of the Lutheran Masses.
