Help fund a HIP recording of Bach's Mass in B Minor

[Rinaldo]

Support the making of the first Czech historically informed recording of Johann Sebastian Bach's Mass in B Minor BWV 232 by Collegium 1704 & Collegium Vocale 1704!

Collegium will pay 90% of the cost of making of the CD  which is 60 000 € from its own funds. Our first goal is to get 30 000 € with your support!

But something is strange with the math. If 60k is 90% of the cost, the total cost should be about 67k (or 60k/0.9). What will they do with the other 23k that they are trying to raise from the public?

Good point. I think they might've meant that the money raised from the campaign will be part of those "own funds" but I'll check with them to clarify.

So it's just as I thought - the 30k they're aiming to raise is part of the 60k.

For a little more money, they can also record the St. John Passion by Karl Henning which can filled the two CDs to the max and in itself can be a selling point.

Now that would put the hip in a HIP performance!
