Bach and the Stile Antico

 

Ars Eloquentiae

Fitzwilliam String Quartet

St Salvator's Chapel Choir

Tom Wilkinson, director

 

The 'Mass in B Minor', renowned as one of Bach's greatest masterpieces, contains several movements in the stile antico (the style developed by Palestrina and other sixteenth-century).  This CD presents a fascinating selection of music by Bassani, Caldara and Palestrina which shaped Bach's understanding of this self-consciously archaic mode of composition.  The CD concludes with the Credo section of the Mass itself.
