Miah Persson, Ann
Hallenberg, Peter Mattei, John Eliot Gardiner, the Monteverdi Choir...
...and Mozart. Need I say
more? *
*Probably, but I wanted to make sure you had a chance to hear it. Then we can talk!
(If you don’t have a lot of time, at least take a few minutes to
check out the soprano duel duet that starts at about 16 minutes
in.)
Thank you for ferreting this out! Wish Wolfie had written a bit more for the baritone though!
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome. I, of course, didn't find it till after I sprang for the DVD. Just think how massive (yes--pun intended) this piece would have been if Mozart had completed it! Something to rival Beethoven's Missa Solemnis and the Bach B-minor!
DeleteNope - no need to say anything more! Just one of those names would have been enough for me but all four of them... Fab :-) Great share, Rob (as usual).
ReplyDeleteThanks for the kudos! Always happy to be of service!
DeleteNow that I heard it all I can safely say that Mattei is one short mofo.
ReplyDeleteWAIT, I'm a dunce! Mattei is the other chap... eh... heh... heh. I need to enroll in baritone recognition school...
DeleteI was wondering what you were talking about! Do you need the web address for Barihunks?
DeleteYep, you had the wrong guy. Peter's 6'4"!
DeleteModern instruments, and what it looks like a doubled chamber choir! Bring. It. ON.
ReplyDeleteYah, the Eric Ericsson Chamber Choir and the Monteverdi Choir. The only thing that bugs me is they reconfigure for the double-chorus bits, during the big soprano duel.
DeleteThis was the Nobel Prize concert, I believe. The year Paul Krugman (yay!) received the Nobel in Economics.
