One of the amazing advantages of the internet is that someone gets to post and we get to listen to some of the great recordings of the past. I had the privilege of being the producer for these recordings with John Eliot Gardiner and these wonderful singers and musicians, that we recorded for Philips at the Palau de la Musica in Barcelona. It is great to hear the production again and to notice that the recorded sound and the mixes still work. Enjoy!

[@peterbagnall-oakeley2]

How much I agree.

[@Epicurus46]

Grateful! Thanks to you I've been there too!

[@djmotise]

The sound and visual are stunningly gorgeous. Congratulations on such a great achievement in recording. I want to own the Philips recording now. All I hear is the great maestro Mozart in this. Bravo.

[@dtaberer]

Stunningly beautiful! Thank you!!

[@barbaratrehy4742]

Yes, I do too. The two sopranos seem born to sing together they blend so well. And the choir is just about faultless. Superb vehicle overall for music coming from the gods.

[@joaoboscofonsecalara6376]

MUSIC COMING FROM GOD!

[@andrewfearnley3388]

Music coming from Mozart

[@andrewforrest8464]

That double fugue, 'Cum Sancto Spiritu', always leaves me weak at the knees. Stupendous.

[@matthewdevlin9769]

Thank you for posting. This is certainly the best version 👍

[@demitri1011]

I personally think its the best version.

[@shentseng]

Tremendous musicians performed together this glorious Mass. Thank you Cantus 5.

[@blaht15]

well, it is a great version, but nothing can compare to "et incarnatus est" sung by Arleen Auger under Bernstein..

[@brookeggleston9314]

@@blaht15 IMNSHO, the Bernstein recording can't be beat! I love von Otter, but given the choice, I'll take Auger and von Stade over Bonney and von Otter every time!!

[@blaht15]

@@brookeggleston9314 Auger singing of this movement etc incarnatus est, was a revelation. I admit I've never heard something similar before

[@jorgeguimaraes8820]

it indeed is a wonderful version, one of my favorites for sure. Highly recommend the rather new recording of the Bernius edition with the kammerchor stuttgart

[@mariavanhoof7961]

Een verrassing om deze Mis van Mozart tegen te komen en nog wel gedirigeerd door Sir John Elliot Gardiner( een van mijn favoriete dirigenten) in het Palau de la Música in Barcelona. Een 'sprookjesachtige' plaats om te zingen, ooit mocht ik als amateur-zanger daar optreden in een groot samengesteld koor wat een onvergetelijke ervaring werd ♥️ Koor , solisten en orkest prachtig...DANK voor deze publicatie

[@virvisquevir2568]

When Anne Sofie von Otter sang Laudamus te, she filled the hall. What a beauty! What sparkle!

[@johnbeaton6676]

Ravishingly beautiful! Nothing compares to this performance!

[@journalofappliedpharmaceut1941]

There is a video of this same masterpiece being lead by this same conductor several years later, on the Nobel prize, if I am not wrong, 2008. This choir is as great at the Nobel prize presentation choir. Soloists are different in performance, and great as well!

[@MrKeithMontgomery]

Sofie von Otter totally upstages everyone. Some of the best singing I've heard in this genre.

[@mckavitt13]

Keith Montgomery Maybe. I think they are all sublime here.

[@catallaxy2000]

Yes, she is outstanding - but so are BB, ARJ, and AM... They are all incomparable in their own right and all at their peak in this performance...

[@santiagovisci2899]

Gardiner and Mozart are just one...

[@jeanmeadenjones5591]

❤ stunning, !!💥💥without words: need to re' learn for May 2024. In memory , of my dear Daddy -in law.

[@alvaropinto5712]

Super violin section! And the soloists, simple, beautifuul and with no artifacts as is much in use nowadays. Just pure and simple Mozart as should be.

[@comic4relief]

Thank Mozart for this timeless wonder, and everyone devoted to performing it well : D

[@ShawnChang19]

Wow, found this by accident. This is one of the best version I have heard. Thank your so much for posting!

[@christopherfleming7505]

The Qui tollis is out of this world! Mozart's setting expresses such spiritual yearning and this interpretation is also beautiful. I love the auditorium too. I remember going to a concert in the Palau de la Música years ago. The hall is immediately recognizeable.

[@gioiscigioisci]

4:10: suprema bellezza in un crescendo sublime!

[@jeremymunro1578]

The choir and soloists singing without scores. Brilliant!. I have insisted on this with all the choirs I have directed. I don't have too much time for "lesser" conductors, but Gardiner is on my desert island discs list. (Along with Haitink and Harnoncourt.)

[@kangminseok8196]

This is the best version of all times with Barbara Bonney in her prime.

[@cyeric4x]

Like a Heavenly Music!!

[@user-uu2mr1cb4d]

Моцарт охватил все существующие в свое время жанры и создал шедевры - в духовной, инструментальной, оперной музыке. Мелодическая и гармоническая красота, ясность, человечность, нежная одухотворенность Моцарта изумляют и радуют бесконечно. Спасибо автору за это ценное видео - исполнение прекрасно!

[@dtaberer]

Totally flawless and yet a very complex composition. Beautiful rendition.

[@elmcdonald6638]

OK! It's a given . . . Mozart is a great composer! But . . . how did Mozart hear all these notes in his head while composing this masterpiece! HOW?!

[@dgpiercer]

Humanity needs this remastered

[@effiechenet]

Beautifully done, so clear a recording.

[@vernonflood2535]

They have worked together a few times. Have you seen their performance ofDer Rosenkavalier, it is just magnificent.

[@eduardopoblete8839]

Eduardo Poblete de Chile, es una misa grandiosa, hermosa, me conmueve, la primera vez que la escuché casi . me volví loco, me pregunté cómo era posible que un ser humano creara tanta belleza, esos corales tan bellos los solos de soprano, de maravilla...

[@ptenchiklena]

Фантастическое исполнение! Даже хор поет наизусть!

[@user-du9zu4ie5x]

Замечательное исполнение! Сэр Гардинер держит в напряжении на протяжении всего произведения!

[@howardmilstein9915]

In 45 years, only 2 sopranos have done 'Et Incarnartus Est' perfectly; one Barbara Bonney, here, and in 1974..Illena Cotrubas with Raymond Leppard and Kiri Te Kenawa.

[@yjko1028]

4.18~5.13. One of the best Mozart moments. "Such longing, such unfulfillable longing."

[@brookeggleston9314]

Listen to Arleen Auger sing this with Leonard Bernstein!!

Llevo 8 años sin escucharla. Tanto tiempo perdido

[@rrf.717]

Bravissimo!!

[@jeremymunro1578]

Is the tenor Anthony Rolfe-Johnson? Far from being" out classed" by the gals, as has been suggested, he knows how to sing this - albeit minor but hugely important harmonically - role in the soloist ensemble.

[@unclearnuclear]

In "Laudamus te" I was having a great time because the whole time I heard "lotta mustard"

Finally, a choir that sings Excelsis correctly. (Eks-chel) Not eggshell or x-shell.

[@mmartinsrj]

All the 3 are great, but I think the tenor could be more present (he seems outsung by the ladies). But the rendition is awesome.

[@craneforever]

barbara bonney is not from this world

[@brookeggleston9314]

If you listen to Arleen Auger sing this with Leonard Bernstein, you will conclude, by comparison, that Auger is not of this universe!!

[@vernonflood2535]

The truth being, she is from this world and we are fortunate that she shares her extraordinary with us!

[@djmotise]

Opening is way too slow.

[@dudeforcaster8630]

I look forward to hearing your interpretation.

[@fildzafinn4112]

mezzo soprano voice sounds too loud compare from soprano in unnecessary parts

[@vernonflood2535]

You can't compare her performance to the soprano - Barbara Bonney - they are singing two very different songs, and it is the conductor who decides loud, soft speed etc. that is why he is the conductor. There are no unnecessary parts!!

[@dudeforcaster8630]

songs? Tell me you now very little about classical music with telling me you know little about classical musid.@@vernonflood2535
