The acclaimed Monteverdi Choir sings a selection of celebrated Bach choruses under their director John Eliot Gardiner, one of the most versatile and exciting conductors of our time. For Gardiner, "Bach is probably the only composer whose music is so rich, so challenging to the performer and so spiritually uplifting to performer and listener alike."
Selections from the Passions, the Mass in B minor, Christmas Oratorio and several cantatas.
