Well, I bought a 3-record set of the B Minor Mass, and I am VERY pleased with it. It cost $33 but it was worth it. I chose the Telefunken recording, with Nicholas Harnoncourt conducting. I chose the very expensive Telefunken because I have a copy of Ode for St. Celia's Day (G.F. Handel) on this label and it to is excellent (i.e. original instruments, excellent musicianship, technically fine recording). I would recommend this version of the B-minor to everyone who likes jubilant choral music, particularly if you want to hear it on period instruments. One warning, the third record is only ONE-SIDED so don't flip it too quickly. Jim Collymore
