Mozart: Missa Solemnis

Mozart: Missa Solemnis & other works

After almost a decade, Hyperion is delighted to welcome back the world-famous St Paul's Cathedral Choir under its new director of music, Hyperion artist and also director of The Cardinalls Musick, Andrew Carwood. Joined by the St Paul's Mozart Orchestra and a quartet of renowned soloists, Carwood leads sparkling performances of a selection of Mozarts sacred music. Although they were commissioned to be sung at church services in Salzburg, all these compositions are suffused with Mozart’s typically unerring sense of dramatic pacing and a sensuous, operatic treatment of solo lines, as well as crisp and energetic choral writing.
