Title: Beautiful, powerful
Review: I bought this for the track "Calm Sea And Prosperous Voyage" having heard it as an opener when the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra and Baltimore Choral Arts Society performed Beethoven's 9th. Having never heard Mass in C, I didn't know what to expect. I love it and have to say that it's a real, real shame that this is overshadowed by his other works. What a powerful, beautiful wonder of a piece.The Atlanta Symphony Orchestra's performance is peppy, sharp. The recording so faithfully captures all the vocal and orchestral nuances. The soloists are are so powerful and work so well together in the Gloria. The choir work as one beautiful unit. It's a wonder to hear them all practically whisper at once and later sing in full volume.
