A Baroque Monster
I have just recently come to know some of Biber's work, and it seems amazing that 60 years of my music interest has not included this composer until now.
There appears to be some question as to the actual composer of this Mass, well, it doesn't really matter, this is BIG, BOLD, and BRASSY and a great deal at the price.

This disc is a sonic stunner
If you like your Baroque music loud and luscious, then this is the disc for you. When you play it first, be aware that the two introductory pieces are not as loud as the later ones, so set your volume low to start off with!

McCreesh, Goebel and their crew have recreated the full pomp and atmosphere of the time (as far as we can tell). The recording is well-defined and, perhaps surprisingly, for a work of this scale, it does not deteriorate into a miasmic wash of sound. The directionality is very good, even on "ordinary" two-channel stereo.

Thoroughly recommended!
