After the success of the "Missae Breves, vol. I" (Alpha 130), released in 2008 and awarded with a "Diapason d'Or de l'Année", the release of the second volume is of very special significance, both for Alpha and for Pygmalion. The Missae Breves from J.S. Bach have been considered as "pastiches" for a long time. Nevertheless, they are expressions of a musical genius. Whatever the purpose they have been written for, these "Lutherian Masses" are a fascinating discovery.
