This recording features powerful versions of these two major choral works. The first, the Mass in G, although written when Schubert was only 18 gives the clearest foretaste of his development as a composer. Haydn’s huge Mass in D minor, known as the "Nelson" compliments the Schubert. Whilst the Schubert incorporates his easily identifiable lyrical methods, the Haydn is much darker in style often punctuated with stark uncompromising energy. The performances were recorded in St. Paul’s Cathedral with it’s tremendous atmosphere and with the scarcity of available versions, these must now be the ones to acquire. |
