CD Reviews

All Hummel masses now recorded
S. J. Mclaren | 04/24/2006
(5 out of 5 stars)

"When firstly seeing a list of Hummel's outputs quite a few years ago I noticed his 5 grand symphonic masses listed and wondered if we would ever hear them. This is the last to be recorded and I havent been disappointed. What a wonderful sacred work this is jsut like the others! This mass is strongly influenced by Mozart's Piano Concerto in D minor (the same key). But the real suprise on this dsic is the exquisite setting to the once famous Latin Catholic Prayer, Hail Holy Queen, Mother of Mercy. Like Schubert's setting of Ave Maria this is every bit as magnificant. Other composers ( most notabely Haydn wrote a setting to Save Regina) but this Hummel setting is oustanding by any measure."
