Missa en Si menor de Bach amb Vox Luminis

A performance of Bach's Mass in B minor, a large-scale sacred work, by the vocal ensemble Vox Luminis at the Palau de la Música Catalana in Barcelona.

The Mass in B minor BWV 232 is Johann Sebastian Bach's great Mass, composed over several decades. It brings together a Kyrie and a Gloria rooted in the Lutheran tradition with the Credo, the Sanctus and the Agnus Dei of the Catholic liturgy, and it is one of the most demanding choral scores in the Baroque repertoire.

Vox Luminis, a Belgian vocal ensemble directed by Lionel Meunier, approaches this work with its vocal and soloist line-up. The programme is completed by Suites i danses amb Camerata XXI, and the name Elisabeth Franch also appears in the proposal.

The concert takes place at the Palau de la Música Catalana, a modernist building by Lluís Domènech i Montaner, a concert hall that also hosts exhibitions and cultural activities in Barcelona.
