- Mass in B minor discography
-
Recordings of the Mass in B minor, BWV 232, of Johann Sebastian Bach in history concentrate on two groups, "modern instruments" and "period instruments", a movement started by Nikolaus Harnoncourt, among others. Both groups now aim at historically informed performances. Some recordings employ a boys choir as Bach had it. Others respect the knowledge of the small ensembles that Bach conducted by having the soloists form the "choir", one singer per part. As the Mass in B minor was never performed in Bach's time, artistic freedom is granted. The selection is taken from the 178 recordings, listed on bach-cantatas as of 2010, the number assigned there given as a reference.
