A sensitive and truly liturgical setting - so different from Gounod's almost operatic ''Messe Solonelle''. The presence of Marie Claire Alain and the competent Swiss choir really enhance this beautiful recording.
Yes, I agree that his St Cecilia Mass is almost more operatic than liturgical, fortunately he has other Sacred Music which has this more liturgical approach - look up his Messe Breve no. 5 and his motet Ave Verum Corpus
A very beautiful Mass. It's surprising that it is not heard more frequently.
j ai beaucoup aimer ... la chorale aussi est adorable,, la musique est expressive, bien exécution
excelente sonido órgano y nítidas voces humanas ! felicidades ! AD MAIOREM DEI GLORIAM
I love this mess!!! It’s so beautiful- and I say that as a soprano singer🥲 it’s hard, but so magical
Wow. Was going to program some Rheinberger for my choir...but then I found this.
