Mass 3

"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".

"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".
