I know the recorded versions have been debated here -- and feel free to do it again -- but I've just come across my favorite, a September live performance via You Tube by Staatskapelle Dresden, with Erina Garanca and other great singers. In 9 parts here.

Thanks for the link GregMitch! and welcome to the board (from a relative newbie myself). My fav Missa was the one I saw live with Alan Gilbert and the NY Phil last June. It's was sublime and it was the performance which convinced me that I liked Gilbert's conducting. I'll be posting your video link on my blog one of these days when I'm being lazy
(PS - the Bohm Missa is probably my reference recording, after that the recent Herreweghe..)

Originally posted by GregMitch View PostThanks. Yes, I saw the NY Phil one in June and was terrific--except lead violinist Dictorow weak in the crucial Benedictus, also did not stand and sound larglely lost. A big minus in an overall plus. I presume people may disagree on value on solo violinist standing for that...
PS - glad you like the blog, thanks!

I like the Colin Davis/London Symphony recording that came with the Brilliant complete set. It spans over one cd (which is good), with the Agnus Dei movements being on the second. It also has The Mass in C on the second disc.Last edited by Preston; 11-15-2010, 12:18 PM.- I hope, or I could not live. - written by H.G. Wells

Originally posted by Sorrano View PostThanks, Preston! I've sent you a PM. By the way, which recording of Davis' is this? And, if anyone else has a preference, any recommendations which of his would be the more satisfying (on Amazon there is a listing of several different performances)?
- Robert Tear: tenor
- Robert Lloyd: bass
