His performances combine architectural clarity, expressive intensity and a profound spirituality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith the Münchener Bach-Chor and Münchener Bach-Orchester, Richter created a sound world that remains one of the defining achievements of Bach interpretation in the 20th century. The edition brings together the \"St. Matthew Passion\", the \"St. John Passion\", the \"Christmas Oratorio\", the \"Magnificat\" and the \"Mass in B minor\" on CD and Blu-ray Audio, alongside 75 cantatas for the Sundays and feast days of the church year on two further Blu-ray Audio discs. Later performances of the Passions and the Mass are presented across four DVDs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA major addition to the set is the inclusion of three live radio recordings from Munich (1967) and Schwetzingen (1969), released on disc for the first time: \"Singet dem Herrn BWV 225\", \"Komm, Jesu, komm BWV 229\" and \"Jesu, meine Freude BWV 227\".
