Average Rating:
 Rating: - Slava!This recording of Glagolitic Mass, is really the best! Rafael Kubelik, who is the master of Czech music already, performed this masterwork of Janacek so brilliant. Every note, every detail can be hear so clear with such a purity, and by the way, with really dramatic feeling. I love the spontaneity in every Kubelik performances. As you know, Janacek was not a believer, he was a pantheist, and according to him, that Mass actually "concentrated on the death" in his own words. The music has a really black atmosphere, you can feel really how the death can explain terrific in music. Just listen the spine-chilling Organ solo, there you will find the terror. Just after that movement orchestra plays a turbulent, flamboyant finale called ... Read More: Rating: - Can I Give It 10 Stars?Take every other recording of the Mssa Glagolskaja and melt them down into something more useful: This is the ONLY one you'll ever need. How can you even speak of another recording after listening to this version. Kubelik is some sort of magus. There is not one flaw to this reading. And the work itself? Janacek is a genius. From start to finish the Mssa is the physical manifestation of an odyssey. Buy, unwrap it, put it in your stereo and listen to it. Feel the power! God gave you ears for a reason. Rating: - Divine is the very nature of humanityJanacek's music is extremely post-stravinskian with yet a constant reference to an old Slavonic tradition. The introduction is powerfully dominated by the wind instruments but is kind of dubitative, suspended, sad even, unsure for sure. The Kyrie reestablishes vibrant optimism. The soprano takes us into this mood and when the Gloria comes, neurotic, escaping an invisible and un-understandable danger, when it turns into a chase or maybe a procession rhythmically pushed forward by percussions and strings, we try to forget the choir that sounds more menacing than the solace of a great mass of helpful souls. The Credo then explodes like a confrontation to the impossible conquest of the faith and fate a Christian would like to have and control. In ...

Most recordings wander over the edge, but in this, one of the original versions in stereo, Kubelik chose world-class singers from Germany, Switzerland, and America, and they reduce the shrieks to a minimum. Evelyn Lear, in fact, accomplishes wonders staying in tune without shosuting, and tenor Ernst Haeflier is just as good. The chorus sits a bit too far back, as does the orchestra, but Kubelik has a sure hand, and this lyrical reading remains one of the best. As a bonus we get Haefliger's vintage recording of The Diary of One Who Vanished, but it's consierably hampered by being sung in german instead of Czech. ... Read More: |
