John Eliot Gardiner's 1985 recording of Bach's 'Mass in B minor' is a soaring, historically informed triumph of the classical repertoire. Utilizing period instruments and the Monteverdi Choir, the performance captures the incredibly complex, polyphonic majesty and deep spiritual devotion of the original baroque composition. It stands as an epic, highly passionate, and definitive modern interpretation of the choral masterwork.
