About this product

A two-CD edition on the French historical label Tahra, catalogue TAH 737-738, of Hermann Scherchen's 1959 stereo recording of Bach's Mass in B minor, BWV 232, with Pierrette Alarie, Nan Merriman, Léopold Simoneau and Gustav Neidlinger, the Vienna Academy Chamber Choir and the Vienna State Opera Orchestra.[1] It uses the 96 kHz/24 bit remastering by Emil Berliner Studios made for Deutsche Grammophon's 2002 Westminster reissue, prints ℗ 1960 and © 2002 Deutsche Grammophon, and was made in France and distributed by Harmonia Mundi.[1] Tahra released it in 2012;[4] Qobuz sells the digital album under the same barcode, dated 12 June 2012.[5]

Tahra was founded in 1993 by Myriam Scherchen, the conductor's daughter, and René Trémine, and stopped publishing in 2014 after Trémine's death;[6] its company, TAHRA SARL of Buzançais, was closed on 31 December 2020.[7] The set is one of several issues of the recording, from the Westminster LPs of 1960 to Deutsche Grammophon's CD of 2002.[8] In September 2026 third-party sellers still offered new copies on Amazon in France, Germany and Japan.[4][2][3]
