'Exploring Bach's B-minor Mass is commendable for its scope and clarity, for the ways in which it engages and builds upon prior research on the Mass, and for the new insights it reveals into our understanding of the B-Minor Mass. Leaver, Tomita, and Smaczny have provided us with a significant new body of scholarship on this 'perpetual touchstone for Bach research'.' Mark A. Peters, Notes
