Mass»rank: 10178from: Sony
0ur opinion: :While critics at the 1971 premiere found the work derivative and even tasteless, audiences loved this ardent, resourceful, somewhat brazen, ultimately moving Theatre Piece for Singers, Players, and Dancers. Leonard Bernstein's affinity for his public and for the age in which he lived enabled him to successfully outfit his Mass with a stylish mix of contemporary and ancient modes--rock, jazz, electronic music, Gregorian chant--and place it in a context somewhere between Broadway and opera. ...

0ur opinion: essential recording:The 'Essential' Purcell? Well, you could get a bunch of critics to argue about that for a few days, but in the meantime, here is a sampler of highlights from the King's Consort's three admirable Purcell series: the Complete 0des and Welcome Songs, Complete Anthems and Services, and Complete Secular Solo Songs. There are, of course, some of Purcell's most-performed pieces (which probably are 'essential'): Dido's Lament from Dido and Aeneas, 'Sound ...

Handel - Admeto / Jacobs, Yakar, Bowman, Dams, Cold, Gomez, van Egmond, Il Complesso Barocco, A. Curtis»rank: 27484by: George Frideric Handel, Il Complesso Barocco, Alan Curtis, René Jacobs, James Bowman, Rachel Yakar, Jill Gomez
0ur opinion: :Admeto is the story of Alcestis, a character also used in an opera by Gluck. The story begins as a variant of the familiar 0rpheus legend, but with a different spin: King Admetus of Thessaly is the victim of a fatal illness and an oracle tells him that he can recover only if someone close to him volunteers to die in his place.
