The Missa Salisburgensis for 53 parts in eight separate choirs, often called "the Mahler 8th of the baroque," is by far the most grandiose work composed before the 18th century. Written (by an unnamed composer generally presumed to be Biber) for the 1,100th anniversary of the Archdiocese of Salzburg, it has extravagant scoring reflecting that city's enormous self-regard. This Mass is rarely performed or recorded, and probably not just because of logistical and financial constraints--the work can often seem tedious and overblown. The large number of parts and the reverberant acoustic of Salzburg Cathedral allowed for very little harmonic variety (virtually the entire Mass is in C major) or virtuoso fireworks; the music can make its effects only through variety of instrumental color and sheer massive sound. It is very much to the credit of Paul McCreesh, Reinhard Goebel, and their musicians that the Missa Salisburgensis sounds so engaging here: the grandeur is leavened with plenty of rhythmic snap, and some lighter moments sound tender and almost delicate. Unusually for McCreesh, there are no chants, prayers, or other trappings of a liturgical reconstruction; there are, however, three sumptuous instrumental sonatas and a motet included with the Mass. This may not be the most profound music of the 17th century, but it is surely among the most jubilant. --Matthew Westphal
This is maybe the largest scale baroque mass that has come down to us. It was once attributed to Orazio Benevoli and thought to be composed for the consecration of the Cathedral in Salzburg in 1628. But recent research has shown that this work was written much later (maybe in the jubilee year of 1682, eleventh centenary of the foundation of the archbishopric by St. Rupert) and probably by Biber, who was then active in Salzburg. Two short fanfares for brass instruments (by Riedl and Augustiner) open the celebration, while three of Biber's sonatas are added to frame the Credo and give a magnificent ending after the Agnus Dei. The motet "Plaudite tympana" belongs to the same manuscript as the mass and is performed at the end of the celebration. The Gabrieli Consort & Players and Musica Antiqua K?ln join their forces to give us a wonderful rendition of this music. A splendid recording, which succeeds in rendering every detail of the music notwithstanding the large number of performers. A curiosity: this mass was recorded (maybe for the first time) in 1974 by Ireneu Segarra conducting the Collegium Aureum. The last name in the list of violin players in that LP is that of a young man, a certain Reinhard Goebel...
