Music reviews of Bach - Mass in B minor / Argenta, Nichols, Chance, Stafford, Milner, W. Evans, Gardiner

Music Review: Truly first-class
Rating: 5 Stars

Over the past few decades I've heard a number of versions of this, one of Bach's finest works and one of the true classical classics, and Gardiner's still reigns supreme.

If there's a flaw it might be the relatively low-key soloists, but perhaps that was Gardiner's concept: to not let any specific performance overwhelm the amazingly perfect balance of the period instruments and respect for the intention of the compser.

This feels like the version JS himself would like, if one might hazard such a guess. It has all the hallmarks of the man's genius--incredible musical logic combined with sheer musicality, deep emotion and yet much restraint--and never seems to highlight the conductor over the music, as many baton wavers tend to do.

And let's face it: this is such an incredible work of musical art, the best idea is to get out of Bach's way and simply present as much transparency as seems possible. Gardiner and his players do just that.

This would have to be on pretty much any list of the top 100 classical cds, and perhaps quite near the top of that list.

Glorious, truly.

Bach composed music for the glory of God, and whatever deity one chooses to worship, you can hear His or Her divinity herein.

Description of Bach - Mass in B minor / Argenta, Nichols, Chance, Stafford, Milner, W. Evans, Gardiner

One of the most frequently mentioned "favorite" works of Bach, the B Minor Mass is not really a functional liturgical work, but an assemblage of movements written over a period of many years. Its grand scale is certainly awesome, but its musical and spiritual unity is more remarkable, considering its origin and the fact that it contains several different compositional styles--not to mention some of Bach's most profound and beautiful music. Performing this work and preserving a sense of its grand design while bringing out the considerable musical details is a challenge that most choirs, orchestras, and conductors are not up to. Almost by consensus, however, John Eliot Gardiner's version is the most successful--and it is indeed a phenomenal recording--at once sumptuous and penetrating, with gorgeous choral and solo singing, and spacious, vibrant sound. --David Vernier
