Bach’s great B Minor Mass is like a vast gothic cathedral in music: displaying towering architecture and yet intimate moments of precise detail; addressing the infinitely mysterious while deploying captivating simplicity. It is an awe inspiring work that gladdens both the heart and the mind. Pablo Casals said: ‘to give wings of eternity to that which is most ephemeral, to make divine things human and human things divine: such is Bach’.
