Overview

This distinguished LP pairs two of the Viennese masters’ most radiant sacred works. Mozart’s “Coronation” Mass, composed in March 1779 and long celebrated for its regal fanfares and luminous choral writing, opens the disc. Schubert’s youthful Mass in G major follows, showcasing his fresh melodic gift and clear-textured writing for soloists and chorus. Under János Ferencsik’s authoritative baton, the Slovak Philharmonic Chorus & Orchestra bring both masses to vivid life, supported by soloists Magda Kálmar, Jutta Bokor, Attila Fülöp, and Kolos Kováts.
