Haydn: Masses

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com essential recording
Richard Hickox's traversal of the great Haydn Masses, such as the Paukenmesse and the Harmoniemesse, has been widely admired, and for good reason: uniformly well-recorded, they feature an excellent period-instrument band and a well-disciplined 24-voice chorus that's equal to large-scale works such as the Nelson Mass. Hickox's ability to balance the devotional with the dramatic is exceptional; contrapuntal lines are brought out with transparency, and the solo singing is uniformly fine. He nicely captures the tensions running through the Mass: its final D major resolution comes as a burst of bright sunlight. The substantial fillers date from early in Haydn's career. Soprano Susan Griffin excels in the Ave Regina, and the melody-rich Missa gets an affecting performance. This is now the preferred CD version of the great Nelson Mass. --Dan Davis

This inexpensive twofer mixes perhaps the best work from London's 10-CD box of Haydn's complete masses recorded during the 1960s. With sparkling solo and choral singing and playing that was among hte best of its era, this set will provide insight into Haydn performance for collectors that only know his music through modern period practice performers such as Gardiner and Hickox.

Old Haydn style is clearly on display in David Willcocks' 1962 Missa in tempori belli, or mass in time of war or "Nelson" mass celebrating Admiral Nelson's victory over Napoleon at the Nile. Four and one-hald decades later this is still among the best versions of this music ever recorded. Aside from "The Creation", Haydn hardly penned a better piece of vocal music. Willcocks probably does not have a better recording to his name.

Another magnificent departure from today's period performance practice is George Guest's "Paukenmesse" and the way he features the kettledrum, espcially in the closing pages. Compared to the Gardiner period version, where the big drum is used less often and to less advantage, this must be considered a full throated attack in keeping with the composer's wishes.

The one shortcoming of the set is it divides the Paukenmesse over two CDs. This aside, no one will be disappointed with this set unless they are so dogmatic they can't set aside modern practice to accept instrumental and choral work that set a standard for 30 years.

4 out of 5 stars Good Choice.......2006-08-14

I ordered this just to have Harmoniemesse but was happy to have the other pieces also. It's a nice variety of vocal arrangements. Recording is clear and chorus is good, sopranos sounding like boys choir. Ending of some phrases loses pitch sometimes but not enough to offend a sensetive ear.

5 out of 5 stars Glorious masterpieces, glorious recordings..........2000-12-26

Deeply moving recordings of Haydn's awesome choral masterpieces. The conducting and singing are both impeccable and powerful, and London's acoustics are great. The soprano in the Nelson mass sings like an angel, and the organ shines through well. It was one of the earliest recordings to use Haydn's actual orchestration. The Nelson mass is available on a 24 bit CD in the Decca Legends series along with a great Handel Coronation anthem with the "God Save the King" chorus. Now back to this set... I love the kettle drum "military" portion of the Agnus Dei in the Mass in Time of War. The organ is quite charming in the Little Organ Mass, and the Harmonienmasse is sublime. The Teresienmasse is not included though.

If you like Haydn's masses, don't miss the powerful The Seven Last Words of Christ(not to be confused with Haydn's string quartet set with the same title), its finale will carry you beyond this world. Haydn's TeDeum is also quite magnificent.

    3 out of 5 stars the grand experience wears thin.......2006-06-22

    I've listened to these particular performances of Haydns masses many times, at first I loved it. The masses sound grand and while it's fun at first it gets old. Many of the masses just sound the same, grand with trumpets, drums, yelling and lots of energy. There is not very many beautiful moments that you hear in other masses by other composers. Also, there is just too many weird surprises and changes in the music, one moment it will sound beautiful then there is a sudden change and it sounds grand and you lose the beatiful melody forever. I don't think it's the performers fault but the composers. I have other performances of music by Gardiner and they're good. I guess you will enjoy this better if you just take it one mass at a time, too much will just wear you out.

    If you're just looking for lots of energy and a grand experiance you will like this. If you want something beautiful stay away, you're better off just buying a couple of the masses. Now you have another opinion.

    5 out of 5 stars In response to previous reviewer..........2006-03-26

    Your ideas concerning the pronunciation of the latin refer to the German pronunciation of the text. Gardiner chose to utilize the Italianate pronunciation, which is certainly not "incorrect." The Italianate pronunciation is typically used in the Roman Catholic Mass, and these are most certainly Masses. Just wanted to clear that up.
    In terms of the recording, I too shared some reservations, as I've been enamoured with Gardiner's rendition of the Verdi Requiem (though I think Abbado, on EMI, is more intense, and his soloists are superb), and extremely disappointed with his "performance" of Bach's St. Matthew Passion (that one seemed like he really had to use the bathroom, and wanted to wrap things up ASAP). However, this is quite a fine recording. The soloists are excellent, tempi are nice and brisk (though not rushed, as has often been the case in other Gardiner recordings), and it's great to have these six wonderful Masses together in one set. Though Bach's B minor Mass is THE supreme liturgical work, these Haydn creations are nothing short of extraordinary.

    5 out of 5 stars Haydn for the new millennium.......2004-11-18

    I am not an unabashed supporter of John Gardiner and his period style with choral music from the Baroque, Classical and Romantic periods. I enjoyed his versions of the Beethoven "Missa Solemnis" and Verdi "Requiem Mass" but did not enjoy his traversal of the Bach cantatas or Haydn's "Creation". This split decision left me wondering if purchasing this set would be wise.

    Turns out it was very wise, indeed, for these are startlingly good performances of Haydn's "Big Six" masses -- the Harmony, Helig, Nelson, Creation, Theresa and Pauken (or kettledrum) masses. In these three disks, Gardiner, a group of now well-known soloists, the Monteverdi Choir and English Baroque Soloists acquit themselves well across the board.

    There is no mention in the notes or on the sleeve whether or not the soloists use period inmstruments. The strings sound good, not wiry as is often the case with period instruments. The singers consistently use vibrato.

    The English notes to this set describe the history of creation of each mass and describe their musical progressions. There are no notes about the performers and arty pictures of Gardiner grace the front panel of cover of the booklet.

    I think it is reasonable to call this a new millennium update of the famous Decca-London set from the 1960s by performers including Simon Preston and George Guest. Spiritually, the newer set is a natural upgrade informed by period style -- if not always performed in same -- and produced in 21st century DDD sound. The singers and orchestral members all perform wonderfully and Gardiner's direction is always appropriate with that little bit of reserve always apparent that separates the temperament of Haydn from that of Beethoven.

    While there is no question this is a five star offering, I nevertheless have a few minor quibbles with it. The recordings are tastefully produced in modern natural style, which places the singers and chorus equidistant. I would have appreciated a bit more forward placement for the singers.

    In addition, I would argue that the pronunciation of the Latin words suscipe and excelsis are incorrect. There are several ways to say suscipe and Gardiner apparently has chosen su-she-pay. I would argue su-see-pay is correct. The choristers and solosits regularly say eck-shell-sis instead of the correct eck-sell-sis, also. Finally, I would have appreciated a bit more embellishment of the timpani in the closing pages of the "kettledrum" mass. It is, after all, named after the instrument!

    But these are minor reservations in a set that has all the qualities to be a classic for this age and hold steadfast in the top rung of Haydn masses for another quarter-century. Compared to the version I have heard by Richard Hickox, I would say this set is clearly superior in all ways. I heartily recommend this nicely-priced three disk set to anyone that wants to discover -- or rediscover -- the glories of Haydn's late masses.

    4 out of 5 stars Fine alternative to Pinnock........2000-08-16

    For many years now Trevor Pinnock's splendidly dramatic and incisive performance of the "Nelson" mass has been the "Flagship" of the fleet,but now comes a worthy challenger,which if not exactly overtaking it,at least gets close enough to fire a warning shot across his bows.

    Perhaps on first listening to this CD you will miss the tense,nervous and almost dangerous energy so evidently communicated in that wonderful Archiv recording.Instead Richard Hickox gives us a reading which underlines the inate spirituality of the text,and if I say that the overwhelming impression you get at the end is one of serenity,you might have trouble believing me,considering that this is Haydn's most anxious and troubled setting of the mass.Don't get me wrong though;there is blood and thunder galore at the appropriate junctures,but out of the maelstrom Haydn's warm humanity and genuine ineffaceable good nature still shine through,and to draw this out of such a storm-tossed work is quite astonishing,and is an enormous tribute to all the superlative musicians involved.

    The dilemma you are faced with is that you can't get along with just one or the other CD in your collection.You've GOT to have them both.So let me apologise in advance to those of you who are entirely new to this gorgeous music:because you simply have to proceed to Amazon's checkout with two items in you basket,and there is no other alternative available to you - sorry !

    As to couplings on each respective disc - Pinnock ends his with a wonderfully boisterous "Te Deum", which is not to be missed,whilst Hickox treats us to two earlier works i.e. Haydn's earliest setting of the mass,and his lovely "Ave Regina" which came a few years later.The mass gives us some tantalising glimpses of the future glory that is to come,but on the whole I don't think you will be giving it a run through very often.The Benedictus has a certain sweet charm about it,but apart from that the rest of the mass is pretty perfunctory and doesn't stay in the memory very long.However the "Ave Regina" is a different matter alogether.It's a quite stunning little masterpiece,and features some astonishingly virtuosic passages for soprano and choir.Susan Gritton reprises her superb vocal talents from the main mass,and her poise and grace (especially in the final exquisite aria "Valde,O Valde ) is beyond criticism.However I must admit to a very strong allegiance to an interpretation by Marie-Claude Vallin which appears on a Sony disc (SK 53368) with other miscellaneous early sacred works from the master.I think that each is excellent within the scope and scale of their respective recordings,but forced at gunpoint to choose between them,I'm afraid it would have to be Mme.Vallin who gets my ultimate vote.So apologies once more - it looks as though you are going to have to add a third item to your shopping basket ! Still,think of the staggering musical feast that awaits when this triumvirate of musical treasures arrives in your mailbox !

      Album Description

      Hänssler Classic is pleased to welcome the talents of The Choir of Trinity Church, Wall Street and the REBEL Baroque Orchestra and Owen Burdick to our roster of artists.

      Our new series of Haydn's sacred choral music begins with the charming Missa brevis in F Major (featuring the angelic soprano voices of Julie Liston and Ann Hoyt - performing the solos originally composed by the young haydn for himself and his brother Michael). The featured work is the massive Missa Celensis - appearing here in the definitive text of the Henle Urtext Edition.

      Dr. Burdick is a student of Maestro Helmuth Rilling and his pedigree is in full evidence in these insightful, vivid choral performances, accompanied by the distinguished artistry of some of New York's finest period instrument performers.

      This recording was made in historic Trinity Church on Wall Street, just 600 feet from the scene of the attack on the World Trade Center and includes a gripping, personal note from Owen Burdick recounting those tragic events.

      The sacred music of Joseph Haydn has been often praised but seldom performed - these are the DEFINITIVE performances to satisfy both the casual listener and the serious collector.

        4 out of 5 stars Great Stuff !!.......2002-02-12

        Neville Marriner has been criticised for his fast tempi but I think his conducting of these four Haydn masses is very good indeed. It has great energy and sense of purpose. The singing is also very good here. I especially like Robert Holl's solid and full basso in the Nelson Mass. You can pay a lot more and get a lot less.

        4 out of 5 stars Broad and solid.......2000-09-21

        One of my first experiences with classical music concerts was a performance of Haydn's "Creation" conducted by Neville Marriner. From this concert I had the impression that Marriner has a faible for rather fast tempi - as far as classical choral works are concerned, but I have to revise this opinion.

        Sure, in this collection of four masses by Haydn there are also some speedy movements, and often the interpretation feels "right" concerning the speed and rhythm. I have the impression that this is especially valid for the first two featured masses (Heiligmesse, Nelsonmesse) where I have no comparison to other recordings or notes. The second pair of masses (Kleine Orgelsolomesse, Theresienmesse) are played often in very broad tempi (e.g. the Kyrie in the Orgelsolomesse) that make it sometimes difficult to follow the flow of the music.

        Besides these details, the interpretation of the joint forces of the Rundfunkchor Leipzig (pronouncing the Latin text in the way it is customary in Germany), the Staatskapelle Dresden, and various soloists is full of rhythm and is "leggiero" (sometimes the latter is somewhat missing with the soloists). Also the technical aspects of the recording are solid, though maybe not excellent.
