It was when the young Haydn was appointed Kapellmeister to Prince Nikolaus Esterházy that he composed his Missa Cellensis, a work of vast proportions, whose popularity is demonstrated by the many surviving copies. In this interpretation full of vivid contrasts, the RIAS Kammerchor and the Akademie für Alte Musik confirm their extraordinary ability to reveal every subtlety of a composition that possesses almost operatic energy!
"Altogether, there is much to discover in this little-known work, and the conductor Justin Doyle with his talented team of soloists and the RIAS Chamber Choice and Berlin Akademie für Alte Musik do it proud. Recommended." BBC Music Five Stars Choral & Song Choice Feb 2020
"The chamber choir of German broadcaster RIAS has kept up with the times and produces beautifully cool, clean-edged textures, which Doyle moulds with skill." The Observer
"especially for the first-time buyer, this new version has a lot going for it. My reaction at the end of the performance was to reflect on what a wonderful musician and human being Haydn must have been, and to feel privileged - as always - to have spent an hour or so in his company. Such a response is always a good sign; maybe, indeed, it is recommendation enough" MusicWeb
