FRANZ SCHUBERT Mass in A-flat Major RIAS Kammerchor, Orchestre des Champs-Elysées, Philippe Herreweghe
1h05
1 CD
HMG501786
The most important milestone on this path from tradition to restoration, from the fulfilment of liturgical requirements to emancipated artistic pretensions is the Missa solemnis in A flat major (D678), begun in November 1819. This work, a choral mass par excellence, owed its origins to no outward stimulus; in almost every respect its design abandons the conventional formal world of Schubert's four early masses.
