Nicholas McGegan conducts the Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra as they join with Bruce Lamott's Philharmonia Chorale to perform Johann Sebastian Bach's monumental baroque masterpiece, Mass in B Minor. A talented and distinguished group of soloists also take the stage, including soprano Sherezade Panthaki; countertenor Daniel Taylor; tenor Thomas Cooley; and baritone Nathaniel Watson, to give soaring voice to what many consider the greatest achievement of Bach's composing career, known for its da capo arias, dignified contrapuntal settings, and glittering choruses.

The quality of the music was quite good (not excellent) as was the quality of the voices.

Unfortunately, I found the concert to be incredibly boring, as did my girlfriend.

We left after intermission, something that I haven't done in a long time.
