"One of the most significant works in music history that Johann Sebastian Bach, in fact, never meant to write. Oddly, this Protestant composer should have written a single mass in Latin, so most probably, he did it on commission. Bach had no operas, but a certain theatrical structure is present in his oratorical works, as in this Latin-language mass too. In this composition, we can encounter the main milestones of human destiny: both the most destructive and uplifting moments of life, in which the master created an incredibly dramatic span.” (Gábor Hollerung )
