Mozart : Grande Messe en ut mineur

Ferenc Fricsay

Sacred Vocal Music - Released January 8, 2010 | Tahra

Booklet
Tahra's Mozart: Grosse Messe consists of a glorious stereo recording made of Mozart's "Great" Mass in C minor featuring conductor Ferenc Fricsay leading the Berlin Radio Symphony Orchestra with the Choeurs de la Cathédrale Ste. Hedwig and soloists led by Maria Stader and Ernst Haefliger in Berlin on September 29, 1959. It was recorded the day before a very famous and long established Deutsche Grammophon catalog item of the Great Mass was made, with the same conductor, soloists, and forces, so one might wonder "why bother to put this out?" It runs within in a minute of the same duration of the studio recording that followed it! Because this live recording -- like the DG studio recording -- is excellent; Fricsay was an outstanding Mozart conductor and used essentially the same usual suspects that peopled Karl Richter's Bach recordings. Tahra's historical recording is remarkably stable and full, the performance is moving, dynamic, and Stader is right on the money in terms of the soprano solo part; she is arrestingly intense in the opening "Kyrie" and remains that way for most of the disc. There is an exception in that Stader is a little unsteady in the first section of "Et incarnates est," but for that matter Fricsay's band seems to have lost its bearings at the start of this movement, with the vagaries of live recording, no doubt, at foot. But overall this is a powerful recording that commands one's attention throughout, and listeners will be astonished at the range, gravity, and clarity of the recording quality, which seems hardly possible for a recording more than five decades old. © TiVo

"Jubilation vénitienne" is an invitation to celebrate joy with two outstanding composers: Antonio Caldara and Antonio Vivaldi. By establishing a dialogue between their two musical worlds, this program aims to recreate, in all it's diversity of colors, a concert in Baroque Venice where children's voices combine with the singing of the flautino, the oboe, the trumpet and the strings, in an explosion of joy and jubilation. © Mirare

Bach: Mass in B Minor, BWV 232

René Jacobs

Masses, Passions, Requiems - Released May 13, 2022 | harmonia mundi

Hi-Res Booklet
Without even mentioning the playing styles or instruments, this new version of the Mass in B is clearly a far cry from the grandiose austerity that prevailed in the 1960s and 70s. In fact, it’s almost directly opposed to the mental representation people had of Bach at the time. From the moment the RIAS-Kammerchor enters at the beginning of Kyrie, we’re encapsulated by their angelic, almost naïve tone, which tenderly reaches out to the listener. Not to mention the sheer adaptability of their voices in face of the lengthy, skilful melismas in the vocal score.  The feeling of elation shines through in this performance, recorded near Berlin in August 2021 for Harmonia Mundi. This new recording by René Jacobs follows on from an already established version in 1992 (reissued in 2006), with the same ensembles but with different soloists. The Belgian conductor has made three stark changes. Firstly, with regards to the chamber choir, he has omitted the soloists from the more archaic pieces of this work. Secondly, he retains the chamber choir but reduces its number for the “modern” pieces which require “gentle, moderate and amiable singing” according to the composer and theorist Michael Praetorius (1571-1621). Thirdly, in terms of the “external” soloists, they aren’t part of the choir and are assigned the virtuoso arias and duets, which they sing sporadically during the large choral pieces.  According to René Jacobs, this cast creates a homogenous whole which represents “the choir of believers, the image of humanity in all of its diversity”. In terms of instrumentals, the musicians of the Akademie für Alte Musik Berlin manage to avoid the pitfalls of a score which can be severely testing for soloists. A special mention goes to horn player Margherita Lulli—a name destined for baroque music! As a former countertenor, René Jacobs utilises a female voice (Dutch contralto Helena Rasker) in Agnus Dei, in line with historical practice. There are no trumpets or thundering timpani in these versions, which are entirely focused on worship and the joy of musical collaboration. © François Hudry/Qobuz

Mozart: Mass in C Minor - C.P.E. Bach: Heilig ist Gott

Dunedin Consort

Classical - Released October 6, 2023 | Linn Records

Hi-Res Booklet
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. © James Manheim /TiVo

J.S. Bach : Mass in B Minor, BWV 232

John Eliot Gardiner

Masses, Passions, Requiems - Released November 6, 2015 | SDG

Hi-Res Booklet Distinctions 5 de Diapason - 4 étoiles Classica
For his new recording of this monument to Bach, John Eliot Gardiner is limited to a light chamber orchestra (obviously the English Baroque Soloists, founded here 37 years ago by Gardiner!), a choir of reasonable size (the Monteverdi Choir, same remark...), and a meticulous - but above all, calm - conducting of the articulations, phrases and lines, almost like a kind of chamber opera. The tempos are rather upbeat, like baroque music back in its heyday - the perfect balance between respecting history and the quest for beauty of sound. Gardiner has nothing dogmatic - making this new recording a particularly welcome perspective among the ample discography(yet unsatisfactory) of this Mass en si. © SM / Qobuz
