Description:

The "Organ Mass" is considered the "masterpiece" of all Bach's organ works. It is the third part of the Clavier Exercises, and is filled with the spirit of the Trinity, which Bach considered important, as well as various tricks. Of course, the organ requires a high level of skill and can be played solo, but some pieces are sung by a four-part chorus. This album employs chorus, and the soloists are members of the Bach Foundation Choir. Naxos Japan
