Bach Mass B min BWV232 V/S BA

One of the greatest compositions in musical history, often performed and recorded, J S Bach's Mass in B minor BWV 232 was completed in 1749, the year before his death, and is in a sense a retrospective of a lifetime's work. It was possibly not until 1859 however that the Mass was performed for the first time in its entirety.
