Well, I bought a 3-record set of the B Minor Mass, and I am VERY pleased with
it.  It cost $33 but it was worth it.  I chose the Telefunken recording, with
Nicholas Harnoncourt conducting.  I chose the very expensive Telefunken because
I have a copy of Ode for St. Celia's Day (G.F. Handel) on this label and it to
is excellent (i.e. original instruments, excellent musicianship, technically
fine recording).  I would recommend this version of the B-minor to everyone
who likes jubilant choral music, particularly if you want to hear it on period
instruments.

One warning, the third record is only ONE-SIDED so don't flip it too quickly.
