About

Following a highly anticipated televised performance at the 2023 BBC Proms, Dunedin Consort and its director John Butt now release Mozart’s ‘Great’ Mass in C minor and Carl Phillip Emmanuel Bach’s Heilig ist Gott on Linn. Devised to celebrate his marriage to Constanze, but left unfinished at the composer’s death, Mozart’s Mass can clearly be traced back to the choral writing of Johann Sebastian Bach and his son, Carl Phillip Emmanuel. This musical genealogy is displayed here in a lavish double-chorus, double-orchestra feast where both works echo each other. No stranger to Mozart – the ensemble’s recording of the Requiem was a Gramophone Award Winner and Grammy-nominated – Dunedin Consort puts its stamp on these most spectacular contributions to church music.

Reviews

The choir is no more than 18 strong, and of course divides into five and eight parts over the course of the work. The gains from this approach include the clarity of line it offers in this highly contrapuntal, Baroque-infused work... The two sopranos are as much the stars as the chorus, and Lucy Crowe and Anna Dennis blend well in their duets. ... What makes this album the more attractive, though, is the inclusion of CPE Bach’s double-choir Heilig – a work whose influence [Clemens] Kemme divines in K427. ... It’s a delicious rarity, and it’s a fantastic performance.  David Threasher
