Hell, the Mass in B minor is one of the most exhilarating and emotionally engaging works of music ever penned. If you aren't getting this from a performance, it must be bad indeed.
While I've never heard his Mass, I'm not wild about Suzuki's cantata performances. I'd vote for the Klemperer, it's from a time before misapplied historical performance practices robbed the music of feeling, drama, and musicality and left it a dry, dessicated, jumpy thing.
