Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Lord Nelson was a hero not just to the British but to all Europeans who felt tyrannised by Napoleon. The Hungarian Radio and Television Chorus capture the euphoric mood that prevailed at the premiere of Haydn's Mass for Anguished Times, which took place in September 1800 just as word arrived of Nelson's victory at Aboukir Bay. The work has been the Nelson Mass ever since. The chorus' robustly joyful singing is tempered by occasional errant consonants. The singers pronounce the Latin with soft Cs and hard Gs which makes them sound old-fashioned. The modern instrument Nikolaus Esterházy Sinfonia is arrestingly stern, the strings vibrant, the timps and trumpets prompt, the organ quite cathedralish for a studio recording. The whiplash soprano Viktoria Loukianetz sounds to be on fire as she shoots out of the chorus to a top B flat in the Kyrie. She powers through the famous Gloria, not altogether sensitively. The other soloists tend to pull down at the pitch. They are a disappointment.

The Little Organ Mass, which makes up the disc, is a simple choral setting dating from 1777. The longest movement is the Benedictus which is usually the shortest. It is scored for soprano solo and twisting organ obbligato. Loukianetz redeems herself to a degree. --Rick Jones

Wonderful Haydn 8 Jun 2009
By Aquinas
Format:MP3 Download
In the late masses, Haydn showed himself to be one of the greatest composers. The orchestration is simply wonderful (excitement and energy galore) and the vocal writing is intensely operatic. This is a very good recording .

Quite good at the price 19 April 2000
By F. Behrens - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
Just before reviewing the Naxos release of Haydn's <Nelson Mass [and] Little Organ Mass> (8.55416), I had to listen for review purposes to "Jesus Christ Superstar"! Believe me, the Haydn was like a gentle salve on raw skin. I always love to play the opening Kyrie from Haydn's "Mass in Time of War" in conjunction with the corresponding movement from the Nelson piece to show how wonderfully the same words could be set to music that expresses the feelings of a particular group of people caught up in the events of particular time in history (the Napoleonic Wars), and then to see how universal it all is to anyone who has turned to the Church or to the Arts for consolation in times of need.

Of course a comparison of the Hungarian Radio and Television Chorus and the Nicolaus Esterhazy Sinfonia under Bela Drahos with the older but still powerful recordings under the baton of Bernstein and other conductors well might leave this recording a little behind! But on a slightly smaller scale and taken (as I have to say for so many recordings) on its own terms, this is a decent interpretation with very good sound and a price that can't be beat.

On what might be a negative note, I somehow find the soprano (Viktoria Loukianetz) not quite blending in with her fellow soloists. Perhaps it is the mike placement. Would someone care to comment on that? Also, I think the order of the works should have been switched as I find the "Little Organ Mass" a bit anticlimactic after the more powerful offering.

Excellent for the price 16 Dec 2005
By Fernando - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
This is a very good recording. Certainly, it's worth much more than its price. It's on a much higher level than the average Naxos CDs. Highly recommended.
