About This Song
About "Mass in B Minor, BWV 232 : J.S. Bach: Mass in B Minor, BWV 232: Agnus Dei" by Anne Sofie Von Otter
The Agnus Dei from Bach's Mass is a plea carved in marble. Von Otter's mezzo-soprano floats above a bed of strings, each note a candle in a dark cathedral. The tension is between mercy and judgment, a whispered prayer that refuses to fade.
