On Easter Sunday, the Netherlands Radio Philharmonic Orchestra and the Netherlands Radio Choir performed Mozart's 'Great Mass', the first Mass in which Mozart fully let go. The music is lush, great, ambitious and worldly.

I feel so deeply privileged to have been able to perform this work. I cried the first rehearsal and then again during the final performance, lol.

[@lauriethompson740]

Quite so. Having been brought up in a Christian tradition that had precisely zero music (Quaker), I remember being baffled when I first came across these musical masses that make so much of a handful of words, now I understand that it turns them into a prayer, and that 'less is more' very much applies here, and that allows the emotion to flow.

I once sang this with a chorus at Carnegie Hall. I remember as we sang "Pleni sunt coelis et terra" I thought, I must be in heaven. It was the most extraoardinary feeling. And then came the "cum sanctis"...Oh, Mozart.

[@SpacedudeProductions]

[@leisurecomments8176]

Could you give the time signature of this "Pleni sunt coelis et terra" and of "cum sanctis" as played here?

[@stainedglasszealot6231]

'Pleni sunt coeli et terra' is part of the Sanctus at 44:58 The 'Cum sanctis' is part of the Lux Aeterna, which has no part in this mass, but it does in the Requiem Mass (of which Mozart also composed one)

[@SrGemmaRose]

When I studied abroad in Austria, I lived in Salzburg for a semester. It just happened to be during all the Solemnities after Easter. And being a faithful Catholic I attended Mass each Sunday. One Sunday we had this Mozart Mass. it was phenomenal. Then i spent a weekend in Vienna and that Sunday was the Haydn Nelson Mass. i never wanted to return home to the States.

[@graemehelliwell]

I'm singing this piece with the Chorus of the Royal Northern Sinfonia on Saturday night, which is why I'm listening yet again to this performance. By coincidence, and after reading your comment, I'm also singing the Nelson Mass with a different choir next weekend. I also feel they bookend each other very well.

His name was Wolfgang. Not "Amadeus".

@@psalm2764 Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, baptized as Joannes Chrysostomus Wolfgangus Theophilus Mozart

[@caltamino]

Though I agree that it is an absolute beauty, Amadeus is not history, but phantasy, and Salieri probably never really said what is in Amadeus. Nonetheless, if he did not actually said so, he should have. This Mass is an absolute beauty from start to end. RT incarnatus est is also just an absolute beauty. The 27 year old Mozart that wrote this was already a master of composition. In my opinion Mozart was God.

[@caltamino]

Though I agree that it is an absolute beauty, I hope you realize that Amadeus is a fantasy play and movie, and NOT history. It has elements of history and truth but it seems probable that Salieri never said what is in Amadeus. Salieri was very successful in Mozart’s time, whereas to the Viennese ‘s eternal shame Mozart died penniless. The only city city that treated Mozart consistently well through his life was Prague. All others treated him well at times, but ultimately abandoned Mozart reducing him shamefully to extreme poverty. Mozart was also the first composer that had no noblemen sponsoring him, but an independent artist that made his living with his music. A true pioneer, not only with his marvelous compositions, but also in this innovative way that he made money to live.

[@rel375]

@@caltamino I agree with you Mr. Isvan. I know it’s a fantasy play full of scenes having no relation with the true history, but as you said, the piece remains an absolute beauty, regardless it was really said by Salieri or not. Thanks for sharing your opinion. Have a great day Sir.

The whole k427 was conceived as a gift to Constanze for their wedding 1st anniversary, whence its large size, rare in Mozart (e.g. TWO full and big SATB choirs), reflected in the "Great mass" name, and the work being left unfinished by Mozart - only finished in 1956 after the big reconstruction works by a number of great musicians, that Mozart himself would probably appreciate, particularly Alois Schmidt 1901, Lanson 1956. The k427 has been almost ever played in the 1956 version after it became available. Sat 18 May 2024 21h31 GMT

Even as a devout Wagnerian, I still constantly find myself returning to Mozart, not only because he's on the Mount Rushmore of composers without question, but also because his music is accessible, to a degree that Wagner, Bach, and even Beethoven to a degree isn't. I listened to Mozart as an infant, and I know plenty of musically daft people who love Mozart. The same cannot be said for Wagner. As with all art, the more you know about music, the more you can appreciate Mozart, but knowledge isn't a prerequisite for actually listening to it.

Each cantata is so different from each other, and so advanced in terms of harmony and counterpoint (there is a video of glenn gould discusing the harmony at the begining of a bach cantata) and remember that cantatas are only a small part of the entire bach catalogue and they were written in a short period of time. Mozarts music is simpler and the ammount of music he wrote is no match compared to bach.

Siempre me ha fascinado la Fuerza,dinamismo,solemnidad y la Potencia de esta misa.

[@frankfeldman6657]

For me his absolutely best piece.

[@michaeldoyle6702]

This may be the greatest of all Mozart's works, not only his finest sacred piece. Much of the choral sections are massive in scope, and in their brilliant complexity must challange the artists greatly. But this isnt complexity for the sake of complexity. Their is a real joy being expressed in that complexity of the divine through the music's own dexterity. In North America, the Great Mass is performed at about one-twentieth the rate given to the Requiem. Not hard to see why. It is more difficult, has the tag of being incomplete, and lacks the mystery of the circumstances surrounding the composition of the Requiem. The Requiem, was also, of course left incomplete. I wouldnt want to be without both compositions. This performance is the best live version I have seen. Great tenor section in the choir, amazing soloists, and a conductor revealing all the glory of this enigmatic work. Thanks for this download.

Agnes Philomena this is one of my favorite works of Mozart and I fear I won’t find many compositions, by any composer, that I love as much as this.

I agree with many of what you said about k427, but not at all about America. First, k427 (the Great Mass in C minor) is indeed played much less than k626 (the Requiem), and the 1/20 ratio you claim looks correct to me, BUT this ratio is the same in France or else, due to many factors. First, the "troops" required are much bigger for k427 (e.g. TWO full and high-quality SATB choirs), and the length is higher. Second, Sußmayr had just to create the missing parts in a canvas that was already weaved (which he did very well, no matter the easy critics), while the numerous ones who helped complete k427 (essentially Schmitt 1901 and Landon 1956 in facts) had to make many more inventions, additions, decisions and choices. Third, due to the 3 previous reasons, k626 is so often performed that people are accustomed to it and sometimes tend to forget why they love it: it is really an exceptional piece. There are many classical pieces that are many times played and replayed, I skip most, but I generally go to k626 and never regret it despite the number of times (I first heard it in... 1951). Fourth, insinuating that Americans would be less culturally educated than Europeans is just as ridiculous as any other Goebbels-style lie _("a lie, 100-time repeated, _*_IS_*_ a truth")._ Unfortunately Goebbels lies, as ridiculous as they first appear, always finally become "truths" after sufficient number of repeats and decades... (I have many and various records of k427, and the main complete scores, with choirs, orchestras and soloists, including Alois Schmitt and Landon. And I worked and sang it, in the choir) Mon 11 Mar 2019 18:10 GMT

Have you ever heard "Davide Penitentem" K469? Hear it and have a surprise!

Music from the heaven...

[@williammanoogian8572]

Haydn's Nelson Mass, which I heard in Salzburg, wasn't much to my taste, but imagine Salzburg under a light snow, March 29, 1970, Easter, my twenty-fourth birthday, touring around after eighteen months' study at the Sorbonne in Paris...heavenly. Well, back to the (very) Great C-minor Mass! Hail, KZbin!

[@bullwinkle57]

Ms. Oh, even hardened post-Leninist atheists can weep at the beauty of this music...perhaps this is Herr Mozart's true genius...

[@gerritmvisser]

Fantastic performance of Sofie Harmsen in the KYrie/Eleison the best music everheard. Both my parents funeral This music was heard,

Perdon? La musica no es catolica.protestante ,antigua ni moderna es,simplemente musica es lenguaje universal no tiene q ver con instruccion, educacion ni clase social es el fuego q enciende el espiritu

[@karldalton1420]

Not true! I believe to create such beauty you need to be moved by something beautiful.

Excelente concierto.

[@RJLKMRD]

I fervently believe the Kyrie through the Qui Tollis is probably the greatest stretch of music he ever composed, save the requiem.
