Live at Holmens Kirke: Bach B Minor Mass / Copenhagen Soloists

Bach B Minor Mass with Copenhagen Soloists Copenhagen Soloists perform Bach's B Minor Mass, a work considered to be the greatest and most significant church composition in music history. The work is among the last Bach completed in the final year of his life (1749) - a Missa Tota, a 'complete mass,' which would shine in posterity as a colossal summary of the Baroque church tradition, at the highest possible level. The ensemble performs the work in a soloistic format - with just 11 singers sharing the choir and solo parts, alongside an orchestra on Baroque instruments. DR has previously broadcast the ensemble's performance of the work. 2026 marks Copenhagen Soloists' 20th anniversary. It is an ensemble specializing in performing on historical instruments according to so-called "historically informed practice." About the ensemble's performance of Mozart's Requiem in a packed symphonic hall in 2019, Rachel Einarsson wrote in Jyllands-Posten: "Five stars for the requiem" and "a welcome addition to the musical offerings." Singers: Cassandra Lemoine, Jennie Lomm, Anna Wierød, Anne Sophie Hjort Ullner, Isolde Ehinger, Hanne Marie le Fevre, Stephen Yeseta, Kieran White, Jakob Skjoldborg, Ørjan Hartveit, Steffen Bruun Orchestra on Baroque instruments Conductor: Jonathan Ofir Duration: 2 hours and 10 minutes including break For wheelchair tickets please contact Ticketmaster on phone +45 3848 1633.
