| Lutheran Mass in G BWV236 | |
with Yorkshire Baroque Soloists
We conclude the season with one of Bach’s four exquisite smaller-scale Latin masses, setting the words of the Kyrie and Gloria, alongside two great cantatas. Cantata 131 has a sombre intensity in its setting of the psalm 130 (Out of the deep) whilst the great Reformation Cantata (no 80) Ein feste Burg is one of the most famous of Bach’s cantatas and is based on the great affirmative chorale possibly composed by Luther himself.
