懵懵懂懂的时候，光盘还没影子，听说巴赫的B小调弥撒是杰作，路在磁带上，也没认真听，没啥印象。
人老了，意识到巴赫的内涵，越加欣赏。几年前一天激发，买了好几盘B小调弥撒曲的影像光盘，“大快朵颐”。

The Mass in B minor is widely regarded as one of the supreme achievements of classical music. Alberto Basso summarizes the work as follows:巴赫在音乐的地位，如牛顿在、微积分在数学的地位，集大成。贝多芬小时学的最拿手的即使巴赫的平均律键盘曲集（The Well-Tempered Clavier），能倒背如流，老师说你这一招就能打出名声。
The Mass in B minor is the consecration of a whole life: started in 1733 for "diplomatic" reasons, it was finished in the very last years of Bach's life, when he had already gone blind. This monumental work is a synthesis of every stylistic and technical contribution the Cantor of Leipzig made to music. But it is also the most astounding spiritual encounter between the worlds of Catholic glorification and the Lutheran cult of the cross.
贝多芬暮年之际，重新回到巴赫那儿，如大名鼎鼎的“大赋格曲”（Grand Fuge）。
巴赫一生是虔诚的基督教徒，不过我聆听、领会巴赫，纯粹音乐。
