This set is offered at a special price: 2 discs for the price of 1. The masses of Joseph Haydn have received a great deal of attention over the years, including some intriguing embellishments by students of the composer. This recording aims to get back to some of the Haydn's original vision. For instance, 'Missa in angustiis,' also known as the "Nelson Mass" because it's debut coincided with the Admiral's great victory over the French, was written for a simple orchestra featuring bassoons (doubling the bass line), trumpets, timpani, solo organ and strings--as appear on this recording. It wasn't until years later that pupils added independent bassoon parts, as well as horns and wind instruments. Strikingly different from many other recordings, adherence to the original orchestration is definitely a point in favor of this collection. In light of the elaborate masses composed in his later years, the inclusion of 'Missa brevis Sancti Joannis de Deo' ("Little Organ Mass") is a pleasant surprise. Written for a small chapel of the Order at Eisenstadt, where the organ loft could fit only two violins and a continuo, it is by contrast a beautifully simple piece relying heavily on the chapel's little baroque organ. |
