Listen before you go

Peter Neumann, Kolner Kammerchor, Collegium Cartusianum (Carus, 2005)

This period-instrument reading keeps the mass light and clear, letting you hear how young Schubert, only eighteen when he wrote it, shapes simple melodic lines into something warm and direct. The small choir and orchestra match the intimate scale Schubert intended for a parish church setting.

For a bigger, more romantic sound, try Neville Marriner with the Academy of St Martin in the Fields (Philips).
