Mozart’s mighty C minor Mass – the climax of an evening of 18th century vocal music at its most powerful from La Nuova Musica and Schola Cantorum Oxford.
No-one truly knows why Mozart wrote his towering Mass in C minor, or why he left it unfinished. Some say that it was composed in fulfilment of a vow; others maintain that it’s even greater than his Requiem. But everyone who hears it agrees that it’s one of the mightiest and most affecting of choral masterpieces, and for David Bates and La Nuova Musica, it deserves to be treated like the jewel it is. Two outstanding solo singers join the choral forces of Schola Cantorum Oxford to give it a truly magnificent setting, including rarely-heard rediscoveries by Mozart’s friend Haydn, and his inspiration, Handel.
