Haydn - Missa Cellensis
Rias Kammerchor Akademie für Alte Musik Berlin, Justin Doyle Qobuz 24/44.1 The ever underestimated Haydn! Wonderful mass, splendid singers. Joseph Haydn composed around 15 masses between 1748 and 1802. The Missa Cellensis in honorem Beatissimae Virginis Mariae, presented here in this new release from the Akademie für Alte Musik and the excellent RIAS-Kammerchor Berlin conducted by Justin Doyle, is better known by the later name Missa Sanctae Caeciliae ("Mass for Saint Cecilia"). It's the most vast of Haydn's masses and his only mass-cantata in the solemn Neapolitan style, whose numbers alternate between arias, ensembles and choirs. It seems that Haydn had intended the composition of this mass to be a great coup: it is a deft mix of the "modern" writing of his day and the "baroque" writing of his predecessors. In his monumental biography of the composer, Marc Vignal notes correctly that Haydn's masses are first-rate, not only set against the production of his quartets or symphonies, but also when set against the religious music of his times. This recording, taken at a June 2018 concert at the Berlin Konzerthaus, completes a RIAS-Kammerchor discography which is already rich in choral works but which hadn't yet tackled Haydn's masterpieces. © François Hudry/Qobuz

Josef Mysliveček - Violiin Concertos - Sinfonia - Ouverture
Collegium 1704, Václav Luks Leila Schayegh, violin Fanfare Magazine doesn't like the violin sound on this album. They seem to prefer modern instruments. I find Schayegh brilliant, and i do like HIP. Light and optimistic pieces, that make one think of Mozart's early violin concertos. And it seems they were inspired by Mysliveček's violin concertos. Young Mozart was a great admirer of his Czech colleague. Václav Luks tries to make the composer's works popular again, like he does with Zelenka. He was kind enough to sign this CD yesterday after a long concert with his ensemble and choir. They brought Händel's Messiah. The ensemble was great, the choir also, the 4 solo singers decent to good. Luks is kind of hyperkinetic on the scene, and clearly inspires his musicians.
