Picture it: Salzburg Cathedral, Whitsunday, 1690. For the consecration of Johann Philipp Count Lamberg as Bishop of Passau, this grand space will be filled with the music of Georg Muffat. His 'Missa In labore requies' provides the Mass ordinary for the day, supplemented by instrumental compositions by Heinrich Ignaz Biber and Antonio Bertali. The musicians--double chorus, soloists, and brass--are spread among the cathedral's four choir lofts for the occasion. This is, of course, somewhat hypothetical. Muffat's Mass may well have been composed for this feast in Salzburg, but its actual purpose is unclear from the manuscript. The work is, however, a shining example of the late 17th-century Salzburg Mass, presented here with instrumental interjections as it would have been in its actual church use. The recording is given a further dose of authenticity of sound by the Abbey of Melk, a large, resonant space which lends some of the aura of majesty this music would certainly have in the Salzburg Cathedral. The performances here are excellent--Cantus Cölln's singers move easily between solo singing and well-blended ensemble singing; Concerto Palatino provides robust accompaniment for the choral works and brilliant brass utterances in the instrumental pieces. |
