"the four Lutheran Masses have been absurdly undervalued because they were largely revamped from earlier cantatas. But who could resist the singing of Gerard Lesne, the invigorating Kyrie of the F major Mass, the G major's tenor aria with oboe obbligato or the A major's affecting 'Christe eleison'?"
