Akademie für Alte Musik Berlin, RIAS Kammerchor, René Jacobs: Mass in B minor Bach,JS

For many seasons, the Akademie für Alte Musik Berlin has been showing how stirring music from the 17th to the early 19th century can sound in its own series at the Konzerthaus Berlin. Today she is a guest under baroque specialist René Jacobs with the RIAS Chamber Choir and Bach's Great Mass in B minor.

In the last ten years of his life, Johann Sebastian Bach wrote very little. He suffered from an eye disease, as well as motor disorders in his right arm and right hand. In addition to the famous "Art of the Fugue", it was precisely this mass that he absolutely wanted to finish. Parts had long begun, and now the Credo, Sanctus and Agnus Dei were added to the Kyrie and Gloria, making it a huge, unusually elaborate work that can be considered the résumé of his entire oeuvre.
