Is that all you have to say about this music?

Rob does have this strange taste for this old-school style Baroque. I think the vibrato from the chorus is pretty horrific. So much it makes it rather difficult to comment on the piece. Seems lively enough, one of the better choruses of his I've heard.. maybe! Pity about that singing.

Well, I have this recording already and quite like it... not much else to say, really. Figured I'd let everyone else enjoy it instead!

Well, in all, the Rilling recording's pretty good. As I said, I'm looking into getting a period recording of the Lutheran Masses, by Roy Goodman and the Amsterdam Boroque Orchestra.

Perhaps this will be more to the Thunderer's liking:

Bach: Mass in G Major, BWV 236 - Gloria in Excelsis (Purcell Quartet)

(The Mass in G Minor, BWV 235 has been moved to its own topic.)

"Link me to this album's Amazon.com page so I can order it!" Bach: Mass in G Minor - Gloria in Excelsis (Purcell Quartet)

As Monty Python said, "And now for something completely different."

The G major sounds rather Italian, I recognise a Correllian tune in there!

I'm not that schooled in Corelli to hear one, but I do hear Bach's 79th cantata in it. But I guess everyone does.

Most of the music in Bach's Lutheran Masses is recycled from his cantatas... That said, they're still pleasant little breves.

Yeah. A rose by any other name smells as sweet.

I prefer the G Minor to the G Major, but I thought both were excellent selections. Well done.
