Gounod: Masses
Tobias Rathgeber (tenor), Christian Rathgeber (tenor), Felix Rathgeber (bass), Daniel Beckmann (organ), Sabine Goetz (soprano), Mainzer Domchor, Mainzer Domorchester, Karsten Storck
Gounod’s St Cecilia Mass is a hearteningly upbeat affair, culminating in a blazing finale. The Messe brève, written for the lower voices, is more restrained but worth exploring too.

About
This recording of Charles Gounod's St. Cecilia Mass was made as part of last year's Christmas concert in the Mainz Cathedral. Intimate moments and immersion in the expansive sound, the play of dynamics and the remarkably transparent ensembles, despite the sheer size of the instrumentation, ensure a recording that is both atmospheric and at the same time exciting!
