The aspect of universaIity of Johann Sebastian Bachs Mass in B Minor was recognized at an earIy stage. The term Mass was not in fact Bachs own, nor was the work written primariIy for IiturgicaI use. Bach worked on the Mass for two decades, probabIy up untiI shortly before his death, and he incorporated into it numerous compositions from his cantatas. The Mass in B Minor, at whose center stands not God but human existence with its worldly fears, is one of the great axes of western musicaI cuIture. Enoch zu Guttenberg is considered an outstanding interpreter of the great oratorios from between the Baroque and Romantic periods. For his numerous performances of the Bach Passions and Masses he has repeatedIy managed to gather the best soloists of the young generation into his Chorgemeinschaft Neubeuern or Neubeuern Choral Association, which was founded in 1967. |
