Beethoven: Missa Solemnis; Mozart: Krönungsmesse

Karajan made a specialty of this great and difficult work, which he recorded no less than five times. I don't believe in duplicating reviews here at Amazon, but I am posting this one under each performance--they range from a live radio broadcast in 1959 from the Salzburg Festival to a digital recording from 1985 in Berlin. In general the sound improves as time goes on, and except for the last recording, the soloists are uniformaly world class.

Since Karajan's readings rank among the best ever made, I'd like to give a brief rundown of each:

1959 Salzburg (EMI): In many ways this is the dream recording. The orchestra is the Vienna Phil, the chorus the Singverein of vienna, Karajan's favorite--they appear in all his recordings. ... Read More:

The Royal Edition Vol. 36 of 100: Haydn: The Creation / Harmoniemesse

Search: Sanctus
by: New York Philharmonic

November 10, 1992
Franz Joseph Haydn's efforts in the symphonic field have sometimes tended to obscure what he achieved in the field of sacred and choral music, which in itself was considerable. This can be accurately gauged on this 2-CD recording by Leonard Bernstein (no stanger to Haydn, he) and the New York Philharmonic of two of Haydn's greatest achievements in the sacred/choral arena.

The first of these is his monumental 105 minute-long oratorio "The Creation", a work that took two years out of his life (1796-1798) and which was his way (along with its companion "The Seasons", composed two years later) to continue the oratorio tradition of Handel. Sung totally in German, the oratorio is about nothing less than the Biblical creation, and is one of Haydn's ... Read More:

I DOES NOT COME AS A SURPRISE TO FIND MYSELF WONDERING ABOUT THE HIGH EFFECTIVITY THAT LIES IN GREGORIANI CANTUS TO HEAL AND TRANSFORM OUR INNER VOID. THERE AWAKENS A LONGING TO JOIN THE RITHMIC WAVE OF CONTEMPLATING VOICES, ALMOST AS IF NOTHING MATTERS, BUT TO EMIT ONE'S SPIRIT TO GOD. IF YOU'VE EVER FELT A SIMILAR ATTRACTION, THEN GREGORIANI CANTUS WILL PROVIDE THE MEANS FOR THIS LEAP OF FAITH. GIVING IT A FIVE STAR RATING IS JUST THE BEGINNING OF WHERE GREGORIANI CANTUS REALLY BELONGS.
