If you liked the Rilling St. Matthew Passion then consider the Rilling Mass
in B minor.  It is a CBS recording and I am very fond of it, although, I
really like performances done in a historically informed (or so they say)
manner.  It is the first recording of the mass that I purchased and it holds
a special place for that fact but it still stands strong today against other
recordings, in my opinion.  See what you think!!
