After almost a decade, Hyperion is delighted to welcome back the world-famous St Paul’s Cathedral Choir under its new director of music, Hyperion artist and also director of The Cardinall’s Musick, Andrew Carwood. Joined by the St Paul’s Mozart Orchestra and a quartet of renowned soloists, Carwood leads sparkling performances of a selection of Mozart’s sacred music. Although they were commissioned to be sung at church services in Salzburg, all these compositions are suffused with Mozart’s typically unerring sense of dramatic pacing and a sensuous, operatic treatment of solo lines, as well as crisp and energetic choral writing. “this is a subtly devised and well-executed record” International Record Review, June 2012 “The boys and men of the choir blend well with the 40-strong orchestra and display their strength and security especially in the early Regina coeli...Full marks for the performances in general; full marks also to Carwood and St Paul's for headlining with this rarely performed Mass rather than the ubiquitous K317” Gramophone Magazine, August 2012 “most of the music here is performed by the good soloists and enthusiastic chorus with gusto, so the chief impression is of lusty praise...The St Paul's team seems to be enjoying itself, though the vibrato-free string playing is something of a hair shirt, and consorts oddly with the pleasure evident in what it is introducing or accompanying.” BBC Music Magazine, September 2012 **** “The performances are thoroughly versed in eighteenth century period practice, although it appears that modern instruments are used. The soloists make a well-balanced team in the Missa Solemnis...Those wanting either a performance using period instruments or a more romantic view of Mozart will look elsewhere, but these genial performances are perfectly in scale and will be welcome to many.” MusicWeb International, July 2012 | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

“No magisterial thoughts here, but forces are well-drilled and clean-cut, prioritising incision over warm-heartedness. The choir is aurally recessed and lacks impact. Some obvious edits spoil continuity, especially in the Coronation Mass Benedictus.” BBC Music Magazine, October 2007 *** | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

Mayr’s own festive Te Deum is believed to have been written for Napoleon’s coronation as King of Italy in Milan Cathedral on 26th May, 1805.

Mozart may have written masses of masses as a professional obligation, but that doesn't mean they are are merely workaday music. They tend towards a bright and joyful C major, amenable as the key is to the instrumentation of trumpet and drums that will make a joyful noise in a vast acoustic like that of the Stephansdom in Vienna, but they also include many tender arias, none perhaps more memorable than the soprano's solo in the Benedictus of the 'Coronation' Mass, though everyone will have their favourites, and indeed be able to discover many more in this comprehensive set. Not just the Requiem and 'Great' C minor Mass, then, whose original purposes still remain shrouded in confusion, but short, simple devotionals such as the Benedictus sit Deus; all offer a pleasing call upon our attention, especially in these stylish modern performances. 11 CD + CD ROM “As a conductor of choral music Nicol Matt has an impressive pedigree, and these performances going back over a period of a decade or so show in every way that his taste and judgement are consistently secure. This collection is absolutely thorough...taken as a whole this is a set which brings musical rewards galore and in the longer term will remain a valuable resource for anyone who owns it.” MusicWeb International, July 2012 | | | Usually despatched in 4 - 5 working days. |
