Arleen Auger, Frederica von Stade, Frank Lopardo, Cornelius Hauptmann, Chor & Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks / Leonard Bernstein
[ Deutsche Grammophon / CD ]
Release Date: Monday 1 September 2008
Leonard Bernstein's performance of this Mass is the finest available. Proof comes from a very unexpected source. A major French classical music magazine conducted a blind listening test of every available performance of this Mass--and this recording was the unanimous choice of the jury. --David Hurwitz
Leonard Bernstein's performance of this Mass is the finest available. Proof comes from a very unexpected source. A major French classical music magazine conducted a blind listening test of every available performance of this Mass--and this recording was the unanimous choice of the jury. No one was more surprised than they were, but one minute of this blazing performance confirms that they were right. A superb disc. --David Hurwitz
