CD ReviewsGood---But Not the Best A Minstrel in the Gallery | Portsmouth, New Hampshire USA | 02/27/2007 (4 out of 5 stars) "This Mass is one of my very favorite Mozart compositions. Despite the fact that he was unhappy in 1779 and desperate to leave Salzburg, K 317 is no doubt one his most glorious works. At times, the music is so exuberant and rich it feels more like an opera than a sacred mass! But I have mixed feelings about this particular recording of this Mozart masterpiece. There are parts of the Mass that are very well done, such as the Agnus Dei, but there are many sections that feel rushed and quite forced to me. I also feel the accoustical balance between the orchestra and the choir is sometimes uneven. Perhaps the best track on the disc is the eerily beautiful Ave Verum Corpus. Altogether a very respectable recording, but not the best version of the Coronation mass that I've heard."
