New Philharmonia Chorus and Orchestra & London Philharmonic Orchestra, Carlo Maria Giulini
[ Warner Classics / 2 CD ]
Release Date: Thursday 10 April 2008
"As in Missa Solemnis, Giulini inspires his forces to give of their best for him. The recorded sound for both performances struck me as being pretty good" (MusicWeb Oct 2008)
"As in Missa Solemnis, Giulini inspires his forces to give of their best for him. The solo quartet is good, though, as in the companion work, the ladies significantly outshine the men. The chorus, still trained in those days by the legendary Wilhelm Pitz, sing very well indeed and the orchestral playing is also very good. The recorded sound for both performances struck me as being pretty good; it's typical of the rich, warm yet detailed sound that one gets from the best EMI analogue recordings of that vintage."
