Several draws helped propel this recording by the Dunedin Consort onto classical best-seller lists in the autumn of 2023. One is that it is the first to use a new edition of the massive but incomplete Mozart Mass in C minor, K. 427, by Clemens Kemme, which fills in some holes but otherwise leaves the music as Mozart wrote it without inserting large-scale additions. Another is the pair of soprano soloists, Lucy Crowe and Anna Dennis, who effectively realize the showcase nature of the vocal writing (for Mozart's intended, Constanze Weber). Further, the Dunedin Consort under John Butt has honed an exceptionally attractive historical-instrument sound, and this work showcases his winds and brass nicely. They do, it is true, come out a bit over-prominent in comparison with the 18-voice choir, which is enthusiastic but underpowered; Leopold Mozart specified a choir of 44 singers in Salzburg in 1757, and choirs had only grown by the younger Mozart's time. Yet another attraction here is a motet by C.P.E. Bach (whom Mozart is known to have admired). This is a typically wild work from C.P.E., with harmonic experiments and a unique treatment of the double choir texture Mozart uses in the Sanctus of the Mass; he might easily have known the earlier work. The marketplace for versions of the Mass in C minor is crowded, with many approaches available and done well, but this one has abundant points of interest.
