Bach - Mass in B minor (2CD)[c18](Archiv/Gardiner)[MP3][twistle]
Bach's B minor mass is one of the most important works within the entirety of classical music: one of the most important works by arguably the world's greatest composer. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_in_B_minor
This is a very cold and majestic recording, as befits the music. First-rate choir and orchestra, but slightly (very slightly) disappointing soloists. Definitely superior overall to the oft-torrented Herreweghe recording.
