Info zu Haydn: Nelson Mass / Vivaldi: Gloria in D / Handel: Zadok the Priest

The King's College recordings from the 1950s and 1960s achieved a 'classic' status which has been unsurpassed. During the 1950s the King's recordings concentrated on unaccompanied choral music and services and then, in 1962, came this spine-tingling account of Haydn's dramatic 'Nelson Mass'.

The 'Nelson Mass' is described by some as 'arguably Haydn's greatest single composition'. Haydn certainly did not write another work which generates such extraordinary power and energy, and this aspect is fully realised in this vivid performance from King's. Here is a work of high drama, with blazing trumpets, soaring solo soprano lines, vigorous choral music and a climax in the Benedictus of truly shattering impact. The 'Nelson Mass' does also have moments of repose and these tend to heighten the drama of the music which surrounds them. The programme is completed with King's recordings of two other best-known choral works - Vivaldi's Gloria, and Handel's Coronation Anthem, the awe inspiring Zadok the priest.
