Bach's monumental Mass in B minor was his last major church work. And what a work! A stroke of genius that sums up the master's entire work as a church musician, where soloists, choir and orchestra merge and unite the earthly with the divine in the composer's greatest masterpiece.

Chief conductor Gedschold was educated in Leipzig and later served as music director at the city's famous opera house. Leipzig was also Bach's hometown for 27 years – it was here that he composed the St. John Passion and the other famous religious works. Gedschold is closely associated with Bach's Leipzig works, of which he is a masterful interpreter. In just a few years, he has already conducted his Danish orchestra in Bach's  Christmas Oratorio ,  St. Matthew Passion and  B minor Mass . Now he completes the list with  the St. John Passion together with four internationally sought-after singing soloists and Holmen's Cantori.
