[…] (1782) is the huge Missa Cellensis “in honour of the Blessed Virgin Mary”, also called the Mariazeller Mass. This receives a glorious new recording from the RIAS Kammerchor and the Akademie für Alte Musik Berlin under Justin Doyle (Harmonia Mundi). From its hushed slow choral opening, through some buoyant fugues and angular chromaticisms, Haydn traces a spiritual journey with great exuberance – notably in the flamboyant roulades of the soprano arias, well dispatched by Johanna Winkel.

[…] The economics of this sort of tour almost always determine that the soloists are often not quite the best part of it. In this case I would grade their merit thus: first the tenor Sebastian Kohlhepp, who showed a fine line and beautiful tone in the "Benedictus" of the Mass (abetted by the admirable flutist Catarina Laske-Trier), and he sang his "Messiah" arias nicely. Then, soprano Johanna Winkel, who seemed slightly under wraps in Bach, sang beautifully in Händel, with luminous timbre. Third, bass-baritone Markus Eiche has an important voice but has trouble in controlling the vocal lines in Bach: the singer was too gruff in the "Quoniam". In Händel he found his best form only in his last aria, where he […]
