I have loved this music for a very long time. The amount of pleasure that Stravinsky has given me in 70 years of listening is beyond measure. This mass is marvelous because it masterfully mixes the old with the new. The uniqueness of the ensemble is part of its magic.

Un immense chef d'œuvre, très bien interprété. Stravinsky est à l'aise dans l'expression du sublime.

I love to listen this music! Thank you so much to post it!!

This was absolutely exquisite. Thank you so much for posting it.

Gorgeous. Especially the two ladies.

La coda du sanctus est absolument incroyable. La messe en général me donne une impression de clarté, les dissonances sont franches, luminosité, élévation. Tant de qualités et la je ne parle pas encore de la justesse de la forme musicale et du texte. L'aspect spirituel par dessus le marché!? c'en est presque trop beau pour être vrai.

The intonation at the opening in the orchestra is suspect. And no children in the chorus. I agree with one of the comments, that Stravinsky discouraged vocal vibrato in this work - and there is too much vibrato in the solo parts.

Where are the children?

Interesante, lástima que interprete como un concierto y ya no en una misa.

The composer discouraged vocal vibrato in this work.

In der Partitur steht nirgends etwas von Piccolo-Trompete...

Credo is WAY TOO FAST!

0:35 Kyrie Kyrie eleison, Christe eleison, Kyrie eleison. Lord, have mercy upon us, Christ have mercy upon us, Lord, have mercy upon us 3:16 Gloria Gloria in excelsis Deo, et in terra pax hominibus bonae voluntatis.

Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son, Lord God, Lamb of God, Son of the Father, Qui tollis peccata mundi, miserere nobis; suscipe deprecationem nostram. Qui sedes ad dexteram Patris, miserere nobis. Thou, who takest away the sins of the world, have mercy upon us; receive our prayer. O Thou, who sittest at the right hand of the Father, have mercy on us. Quoniam tu solus sanctus, tu solus Dominus, tu solus altissimus, Jesu Christe, cum Sancto Spiritu in gloria Dei Patris. Amen. For Thou alone art holy, Thou alone art Lord, Thou alone art most high, Jesus Christ. Together with the Holy Ghost, in the glory of God the Father. Amen. 6:56 Credo Credo in unum Deum, patrem omnipotentem, factorem cæli et terræ visibilium omnium et invisibilium. I believe in one God, the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all things visible and invisible.

Deum de Deo, Lumen de Lumine: Deum verum de Deo vero; I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of God; and born of the Father before all ages. God of Gods, Light of Light, true God of true God; Genitum, non factum; consubstantialem Patri, per quem omnia facta sunt; Qui propter nos homines, et propter nostram salutem, descendit de cælis, begotten, not made; consubstantial with the Father, by Whom all things were made; Who for us men and for our salvation, came down from heaven, Et incarnatus est de Spiritu Sancto ex Maria Virgine, et homo factus est. Crucifixus etiam pro nobis; sub Pontio Pilato passus et sepultus est, Et resurrexit tertia die, secundum Scripturas. and became incarnate by the Holy Ghost of the Virgin Mary, and was made man. He was crucified also for us; suffered under Pontius Pilate and was buried, And the third day He arose again according to the Scriptures. Et ascendit in cælum, sedet ad dexteram Patris. Et iterum venturus est cum gloria judicare vivos et mortuos; Cujus regni non erit finis. And ascended into heaven, and sitteth at the right hand of the Father. And He is to come again, with glory, to judge both the living and the dead; Of whose kingdom there shall be no end. Credo in Spiritum Sanctum, Dominum et vivificantem, qui ex Patre Filioque procedit; qui cum Patre et Filio simul adoratur et conglorificatur; qui locutus est per prophetas. I believe in the Holy Ghost, the Lord and Giver of life, Who proceedeth from the Father and the Son; Who, together with the Father and the Son, is adored and glorified; Who spoke by the prophets. Credo in unam sanctam Catholicam et Apostolicam Ecclesiam. Confiteor unum Baptisma in remissionem peccatorum. Et expecto resurrectionem mortuorum, et vitam venturi sæculi. Amen. I believe in one holy Catholic and Apostolic Church. I confess one baptism for the remission of sins. And I expect the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen. 10:51 Sanctus Sanctus Dominus Deus Sabaoth. Pleni sunt cæli et terra gloria tua. Osanna in excelsis. Benedictus qui venit in nomine Domini. Osanna in excelsis.

Lamb of God, that takest away the sins of the world, have mercy upon us. Lamb of God, that takest away the sins of the world, grant us peace.

0:56 les 3 pourraient être des frères!

Such a poor performance of a great work! The brass is all over the place, and lack the punch that is necessary for Stravinsky. The choir is ok but doesn't have (again) that punch that comes from feeling the music. I've listened to a lot of French recordings of religious music lately and I just don't think they get the ardour that is necessary to perform it properly. There's no spirit in it.

Wonderfully accurate, lovely sound among the singers and winds. Conductor's style is too limp and rounded for Stravinsky. About the piece: the inclusion of 3 trombones in a group of only 10 wind instruments is strange and at times makes it sound unbalanced.

sorry to say, it's quite badly played. It feels sloppy, not precise. The horizontal workings of the music should be felt as they intertwine, but also the verticality ... the attacks, the chords, the careful voicings.

nothing too accurate as what transpires from :55 for a few instants.

Completely limp performance of this great piece. I don't know if they are entirely professional, but if this ensemble is, then either they were having an off day or maybe rehearsals were pressed for time. But there is no pulse anywhere. This sounds lifeless, flat and dreary. Stravinsky wanted this piece to be austere, but not lifeless.

Stravinsky sollte seine Kunst nicht für Kirchenmumpitz hergeben.

Not really good, lack of tension. Superficial.
