The High Mass in B Minor is Bach's crowning achievement—his musical testament—written over a twenty-year period and never performed during his lifetime. It was discovered by Mendelssohn one hundred years later and performed then in Leipzig's St. Thomas Church, where Bach spent his last twenty-seven years as its most prolific and famous organist, Musikdirektor and Kapellmeister.
Running time: 2 hours 30 minutes including one intermission
