Bach - Mass in B Minor

Recorded 12-16 January 2017. Released March 2018 (CD) Re-issued May 2026 (LP)

SUNDAY TIMES RECORDING OF THE WEEK

“The mixed young-adult choir – sounding wonderfully fresh and athletic… Highly recommended.” – The Sunday Times

Recorded in Trinity College Chapel with an outstanding cast of soloists (including three Trinity alumni) and the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment’s period forces, this recording offers a majestic account of Bach’s magnum opus.

This album also holds the distinction of being the first Trinity CD recording to have been re-issued on LP, with Hyperion releasing a 180g set in May 2026 as part of its Vinyl Edition.
