 Is Mass Out?
Submitted on: 2009-11-12 |
|
| No. But your ties on crooked! That was Ruth Gordon's favorite "naughty" joke circa 1911. Well this Mass is out and it is the best! There is no curtain line between the performers and the music. The listener is in the mix from start to finish and what a payoff. If you are spiritually deprived the sheer robust beauty of the work will give you a lift. If you're still hoping for a better world Jubilant Sykes, the Baltimore Symphony and Marin Alsop conducting will bring you one for an hour and a half at a budget price. |

 All that glitters is not gold.

| A life long fondness for the music of Leonard Bernstein led to high expectations regarding his Mass. Despite the attractive packaging the music itself is a parody; a largely cacophonous, irreverent musical mess. My youngest son, overhearing the piece, called it "crap" and turned it off. Sadly, I agreed. It has since been thrown in the trash. |

Gift
Submitted on: 2009-10-14 |
|
| I preordered it as a gift for someone who loves Bernstein's Mass as far as when Bernstein himself did it. What little I've been blessed to hear was, well, a blessing. Good stuff played with heart, skill homed over a lifetime, and passionate love of the music. Is it different from the only other one I have heard? Yes. Also sound quality is stunning just by itself. Buy it. |

 Great recording of a flawed piece
Submitted on: 2009-10-05 |
|
| This a wonderful, joyful, heartfelt performance, and recorded well. It is still a piece that I want to love more than I do. It is hard to imagine a better argument in it's favor, however, and I'm glad I bought it. I've made my own "highlights" disc so I can skip the parts I really don't get. To each their own, but it is a good recording. |

Alsop aces the Bernstein Mass
Submitted on: 2009-10-01 |
|
Marin Alsop's reading of the controversial Bernstein Mass is precisely what we've come to expect from the Baltimore Symphony's outstanding maestro: fresh, vibrant, cathartic, and empathic.
The mass itself, more vernacular and theatrical than liturgical, is a hit-or-miss piece, but for those who love Bernstein and/or his famous Mass, you will find this to be a top-quality interpretation and recording. The recording is sonically robust and clean, and features inspired performances from Jubilant Sykes (baritone); Asher Edward Wulfman (boy soprano); the Morgan State University Choir, under the direction and preparation of Dr. Eric Conway; and the Peabody Children's Chorus, directed by Doreen Falby.
Certainly a top-tier recording of this popular American work! |
