Bach: Missa b-Minor
It is a summation of his life as a composer – in his Mass in B minor, Johann Sebastian Bach once again amalgamated a multitude of influences into extraordinary music. At Musikfest Berlin 2023 the orchestra and choir of Collegium Vocale Gent came together with a cast of distinguished soloists to perform this interdenominational work. The conductor is Philippe Herreweghe.
