Music reviews of Bach: Mass in B minor
Music Review: A great performance in an outdated mastering
Rating: 5 Stars
This isn't EMI's curent remastering of Klemperer's B minor Mass, but even so it's a great performance, a towering one, in fact. Along with Klemperer's Matthew Passion, this recording was the summit of what he could do in Bach. The soloists are wonderful, especially the women led by Janet Baker, and the Philharmonia chrous at that time was probably the best in the world. Tempos are stately but full of life in their own way, and the overall experience fills one with Bach's sense of joyful worship.
Description of Bach: Mass in B minor
Dated though his conception may be, Otto Klemperer's account of the B Minor Mass has a majesty no other version quite matches. It proceeds from an ennobled, benevolent, Olympian view of the score; and while it sounds decidedly Romantic, it conveys deep feeling and fully realizes the spirit behind the score. Klemperer's chorus and soloists (Janet Baker, in particular) are warmly committed, and the playing of the New Philharmonia shows admirable polish. The recording, from 1967, is spacious if somewhat grainy in texture. --Ted LibbeyGeneral CDs
