"Janowski's reading, although not as spiritual as Jochum's, has a compelling breadth and symphonic sweep. The Suisse Romande players take on the accompaniments ... with all the idiomatic skills derived from their Bruckner symphonic cycle. The long-established Berlin Radio Choir ... produces a grand, internally well-balanced sound, and Janowski's four soloists ... are expressive, secure in pitch and work well together. Together, the whole ensemble tackles the fast and loud movements of the Gloria and Credo with abundant energy and stirring rhythmic lift ... Happily recommended, therefore".

"Sound is first-class ... This set is unique in presenting Psalm 146 and is thus self-recommending. There are many recordings of the Mass, but this new CD from Gerd Schaller goes right to the top of the list with my strongest possible recommendation".

"Det här är musik som även ställer mycket stora krav på uttolkarna ... Här ... ger Robin Ticciatis tolkning prov på riktig välklang. Han får samma kör - låt vara drygt 40 år senare - att klinga betydligt renare än på Eugen Jochums legendariska inspelning (Deutsche Grammophon) ... Överlag är Ticciati en extrovert och dramatisk dirigent. Det blir spännande och varierad lyssning".

"Ticciati zeigt ... ein gutes Gespür fur die Architektur des einstündige Werks, mit seinen weit gespannten Steigerungswellen, den typisch Bruckner'schen Klangböcken unde komplexen Motivstrukturen ... Chor des Bayerischen Rundfunks beeindruckt einmal mehr mit einem beriten und farbigen Klangspektrum ... Exzellent auch das Solistenquartett".

"Perhaps it's not all gain, though. A touch more visceral choral edge would have given extra presence at times ... heavenly!".

"Ticciati's feel for Bruckner intricate structure ... runneth over with instinctive wisdom, and he marshals a top-notch team of vocal soloists. Every time I hear the Bamberg Symphony Orchestra I'm reminded that they're real contenders; but what a pity this careful attention to detail has been torpedoed by sound balance problems".

"Throughout this account, the excellence of the Bamberg Symphony Orchestra is equalled by that from the Bavarian Radio Chorus ... Certainly those yet to encounter the work's flawed majesty could profitably start with this newcomer".

"Vurdering: Editor's choice" - "A superb pendant to his recently completed cycle of the symphonies. The orchestral opening of the Kyrie immediately catches the ear with its depth of expression and seriousness of purpose, and the performance benefits throughout from the commitment and radiance of the choral singing".

"The professional RIAS Choir from Berlin is always clean and fiercely incisive in attack ... no over-revenretial mush but instead a nicely audible orchestra".

"Despite the heaviness of the scoring and big block textures of much of the choral writing, Janowski achieves a lightness and transparency throughout ... The greatest plaudit here goes to the bass, Franz Josef Selig, who is warmly resonant. This flawless performance is of the highest quality".
