One of the most famous composers of all time, Johann Sebastian Bach's symmetrical yet intricate notation defined the Baroque style. The genius composer, like many others, wrote religious choral music as well as symphonies and concertos. His MASS IN B MINOR is one of Bach's most acclaimed. A work which he toiled at almost up until his death, it is often said to reflect his unique spirit. This performance, conducted by Enoch zu Guttenberg and performed by the Neubeuern Choral Society, was filmed at Bavaria's breathtaking pilgrimage church, Steingaden Abbey.DVD Features:Region 0Snap CaseAnamorphic Widescreen - 1.78Audio: Dolby Digital SurroundInteractive Features: Interactive Menus Song Access
