Description:
After their hugely successful reading of Gluck's neglected opera Paride ed Elena, Paul McCreesh and his Gabrieli Consort & Players again turn their attention to sacred choral music and join in Deutsche Grammophon's celebration of Mozart year 2006 with a new recording of Mozart's Mass in C minor.

To further explore the full spectrum of dramatic soprano singing, McCreesh combines the mass with two dramatic scenes for soprano and orchestra by Haydn and Beethoven; both settings, mini-operas in themselves, give voice to the rage of an abandoned woman.

The album, recorded in London in late 2004, followed a series of highly acclaimed concert performances of the same repertoire. The Times (London) was one of many publications to praise the ensemble's special rendering: 'McCreesh propels his period-instrument band and incisive choir with feverish energy. There's never a dull moment. Yet he also has the imagination and control to conjure up delectable oases of calm.'
