In Reply to: Bach Mass in B minor posted by jazz1 on March 9, 2012 at 23:56:31:
Gardner on Archiv, Herreweghe on Harmonia Mundi and Suzuki on BIS.
Also, the Matthew Passion is Bach's greatest sacred music IMHO. And Gardner and Herreweghe aforementioned, are the best.
Also, the Motets conducted by Richard Marlow are great.
Also, the Gardner boxed set of Haydn Masses is good.
BTW: The Jochum bores me, too.
