The Voice of the Beloved: Daniel-Lesur, Martin & Messiaen
This is a radiant performance of Frank Martin’s Mass for Double Choir, reminiscent of the 1998 Recording of the Year winner from James O’Donnell’s Westminster Cathedral Choir.
A comparable version is the Danish National Vocal Ensemble's recording, but the Netherlands ensemble has the edge with a more reverberant acoustic.
- The new recording features a constant bounce and verve, sprung from the text.
- The Gloria cascades open with a tumbling inevitability, creating a striking sense of a ‘mass’ of sound.
Compare the way the Gloria cascades open with a sort of tumbling inevitability on the new recording.
The sense of sound is achieved by the skill of the musicians and those who captured them.
