I fell in love with it the first time I listened to it, it is an extraordinary work. I am inclined to get a wee bit carried away when I comment on it too I suppose. =Dfergus wrote:You really do like the Bach Magnificat Seán!Seán wrote:And now this gets the blood flowing, the foot tapping and the spirits rising: it is music written by GOD and performed by angels:
Johann Sebastian Bach
Magnificat BWV 243
La Chapelle Royale
Collegium Vocale Gent
Philippe Herreweghe conducting.
Perfection!

Dmitri Shostakovich
Symphony No. 5

Evgeny Mravinsky conducting.
This is a powerful and beautiful performance of Shostakovich's monumental work, it is BRILLIANT!

Some 40 years ago when you talked about the Missa Solemnis the options were mainly Klemperer and Karajan in DG, but this gorgeous performance hold it´s own. The vocal quartet is excellent and the choral work more than acceptable, but most important, Jochum brings great dignity and pathos to his interpretation. Now it´s almost forgotten, but fortunately it was briefly available on CD and I managed to get a copy.

That is exactly it Pepe! I did not know of this interpretation until this recent purchase but I did not hesitate once I discovered it. I have Jochum conducting a lot of Bruckner [which I particularly like] and Jochum's version of Bruckner's Masses are particularly impressive so the Missa Solemnis was a safe bet I reckoned. It turned out to be a little more thankfully.Jose Echenique wrote:Some 40 years ago when you talked about the Missa Solemnis the options were mainly Klemperer and Karajan in DG, but this gorgeous performance hold it´s own.
