ReplyDeleteEt une performance passionnante !
DeleteMy thanks for this; Kurt Equiluz is wonderful in this performance!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely so! sings with great freedom/expression...lively chorus, too.
DeleteEquiluz also in Haydn 'Nelson' Mass (SMSC2483): among 50 'choral' of some 300 unplayed Concert Hall from an auction lot (1 penny each) over 25 years back:- still mostly unheard..
..and another Haydn: "Nicolai-Mass" (Vienna/Barati) SMSC2545
