BACH'S MASS A BRILLIANT SUCCESS IN BELVEDEREby Joanna Bramel YoungFriday, January 16, 2009
American Bach Soloists, based in Belvedere, performed J.S. Bach’s Mass in B Minor January 16 to a full house in St. Stephen’s Church. Known for its colossal dimensions and encyclopedic stylistic variety, the great Mass intersperses compelling choral sections with vocal solos highlighted by beautiful and engaging instrumental accompaniment. The use of period instruments, including strings, oboes, natural horn (corno da caccia), natural trumpets, flutes, bassoons, tympani and chamber organ ensured a faithful display of the riches of the original work, developed in part from Bach’s own earlier compositions in the genre. Unfortunately, he never heard the Mass performed during his lifetime, but 36 years after his death his son C.P.E. Bach conducted parts of it in 1786.
