Interpretations of Bach's B Minor Mass

The NYPR Archive Collections | Jan 1, 2000

David continues with an earlier discussion of what a critics looks for when judging a musical performance. He begins by playing excerpts from three difference versions of Gloria from Bach's B minor Mass. We won't, however, spoil things by telling you who is conducting and performing till after you've heard the pieces. After revealing the names of the conductors and their orchestras, David plays three more Bach excerpts from the B minor Mass with the same conductors and orchestras for comparison.
