"Haydn's Heavenly harvest indeed.The early Masses are full of invention and interest whilst the late Masses are miraculous marriages between the liturgy and the symphonic form."
"Haydn's little Missa Sancti Nicolai is a stunning Missa Brevis that features miraculous writing for the soloists in the Crucifixus and a Benedictus of sublime perfection."
"Ok,it's not a complete Mass setting but Vivaldi's Gloria is required listening.Great performances of both extant versions on this CD set,and I especially love the Domine Deus of the more famous one."
"What a treat ! Haydn's superb Paukenmesse (the fabulous St.Johns/Guest recording) coupled with Mozart's Vespers k339 that features a tremendous account of the miraculous Laudate Dominum."
