I disagree with a previous reviewer that this Pretre recording is inferior to the Hartemann recording. For me, the ungainly, Germanically throaty tenor of Heinz Hoppe there quite spoils the elegance and delicacy of the movements he sings in and Laurence Dale is far more in style and pleasing on the ear. The pacing is broader and more majestic in the Pretre - surprising for a conductor who was too often choppy and rushed in his tempi - and the sound, while not as detailed as in the Hartemann set, ...

No question this performance of Gounod's 'St Cecilia Mass' is excellent. Even if you have never heard the piece before you are immediately overwhelmed by the great singing and the good support provided by the orchestra. The three soloists are the great plus of this recording with Barbara Hendricks singing heavenly. The only dissapointment is the short timing of the CD that goes a bit over 45 min. Other than that the CD is recommended to the fullest extent.

Imediatly I thaught that it should be a great perfomance for the conductor was Goerges Prête, and Barbara Hendricks the soprano soloist. I had recently view Barbara Handricks singing the Rückert Lieder and the Fourth Symphony , both by Mahler in Lisbon with the ... Read More
