Primarily based on a list member recommendation, I acquired Bach's B Minor
Mass conducted by Robert King on Hyperion.  Although I can't say that King
blows away the competition as I feel he does in Handel, this is a very good
performance with superb recorded sound.  Gardiner has been my benchmark for
the Mass, and I'd put King on his level.  What I still don't appreciate is
that King does not employ female soloists.  Does anyone else on the list
have a problem with that aspect of the performance?

Overall, I'm glad I have the King recording.  It's easily one of the best
Bach B Minor Masses I've heard.
