December 2012

The performance itself is fine: the period instruments of the Champs-Elysees Orchestra provide a mellow accompaniment to the focused singing of the two choruses and as decent a row of soloists as might be expected. The liturgical aspect of the performance is less satisfactory, with celebrant Fr Kazimierz Syzmonik in less than mellifluous voice.

March 2013

The performance here is excellent, and the filming quite good, though the church is a bit cramped, and the lighting is distracting at times. The small forces, both orchestral and vocal, give a wonderful colour to the work. The soloists are all excellent, and musically the work is delightful.
