Mozart:

Mass in C minor, K 427 "Great Mass"

Kanawa/Von Otter/Johnson/Lloyd/Academy and Chorus of St. Martin in the Fields/Marriner

Interestingly, it says on the back of this CD "Philips Classics - the makers of The Complete Mozart Edition." It makes me think that this recording would have fit right in on the CME had it existed at the time. So much of it was recordings by the ASMF/Marriner anyway, and this recording of the Great Mass is excellent. They used the recording by Gardiner and The English Baroque Soloists, which is also great, but feels a bit out of place. I don't recall anywhere else in the CME where period instruments were used, except for in some of the early piano concertos. Perhaps because of the edits Gardiner made?

[Enrique]

Mozart:
