Dans les dernières années de sa vie, Johann Sebastian Bach acheva une série d’œuvres qui constituèrent un magnifique testament musical de tous les styles qu’il pratiqua, que ce soit le contrepoint avec L’Offrande musicale (1747), les Variations canoniques pour orgue (1747-1748) et L’Art de la fugue (1742-1750), ou la musique religieuse avec la Messe en si mineur (1746-1749). Mais contrairement aux autres monuments contrapuntiques cités précédemment, la Messe ne fut pas véritablement composée entre 1746 et 1749. Hormis deux sections du Credo conçues vraisemblablement en 1749, Bach retravailla des pièces qu’il avait écrites auparavant dans diverses circonstances. Il réussit un tour de force en créant une œuvre nouvelle et originale à partir d’un matériau composite. Le compositeur délaissa également l’aria da capo et le récitatif, des formes qu’il avait abondamment utilisées dans les cantates et les Passions. Ainsi, il livre à la postérité non pas sa conception de ce que devait être une messe – attitude paradoxale pour un compositeur profondément attaché au rite luthérien – mais sa vision de la musique religieuse. La Messe en si mineur constitue ainsi une admirable synthèse des différents styles qu’il pratiqua sa vie durant.
La genèse de la Messe s’étendit donc sur plus de vingt années. Une première version du Credo fut sans doute exécutée pour la consécration de l’école Saint-Thomas de Leipzig, le 5 juin 1732. Un an plus tard, le 21 avril 1733, le Kyrie et le Gloria furent créés à l’occasion des vœux de fidélité du nouveau prince électeur de Saxe, Auguste III. Quatre mois après cette exécution, Bach adressa au souverain le manuscrit précédé de la supplique suivante: « Je m’offre avec la plus consciencieuse obéissance de démontrer en toute occasion mon zèle infatigable en composant de la musique sacrée aussi bien que pour l’orchestre chaque fois que Votre Majesté me fera la grâce de l’exiger. » La mise au point tardive de la Messe en si mineur explique pourquoi celle-ci ne fut jamais jouée dans son intégralité du vivant de Bach. Après le décès du cantor, l’autographe fut transmis à son fils cadet Carl Philipp Emanuel qui, en 1786, remania le Credo afin de le « moderniser ». Si des extraits furent régulièrement donnés entre 1811 et 1834, notamment par l’Académie de chant de Berlin, il fallut attendre 1859 pour que cette œuvre fût exécutée dans son intégralité (en traduction allemande !), sous la direction de Carl Riedel.
Internationally acclaimed vocal group VOCES8 headline the Academy of Ancient Musics performance of Handels beloved oratorio Messiah, recorded live at the Chapel of Trinity College, Cambridge.

This Concerto for Oboe and Violin in C Minor, performed by Emma Black and Shunske Sato for All of Bach, is a reconstruction of the supposed original form of the concerto for two harpsichords in C Minor. In this version, each instrument makes full use of its own timbre and characteristics. In the finale, the violin clearly gets more scope than the oboe to show off its most virtuoso side, while in the second movement – a rocking Siciliano – both instruments become closely entangled.

Played by The Borodin Quartet With Alexander Buzlov (cello) — The Quintet was to be Schubert’s last completed chamber work. Just a few weeks after having completed the Quintet, Schubert died at three o’clock in the afternoon on November 19, 1828. It is widely believed to be among the handful of greatest chamber works ever composed.
The Borodin Quartet was formed in 1945 by four students from the Moscow Conservatory. Calling itself the Moscow Philharmonic Quartet, the group changed its name to Borodin Quartet ten years later and remains one of the very few existing established chamber ensembles with uninterrupted longevity. The current members of the Quartet are Ruben Aharonian, Sergei Lomovsky, Igor Naidin and Vladimir Balshin.
The two solo parts of the Concerto for two violins in D minor, performed by the Netherlands Bach Society for All of Bach, have survived in Bach’s own handwriting. This autograph dates from around 1730, a few years after the composer had moved from Köthen to Leipzig. Bach composed most of his instrumental concertos in the period 1717–1723, while working at the court of Leopold von Anhalt-Köthen, but this work appears to be an exception.
