SCHUBERT: Mass in E flat major, D. 950

Richard Hickox

  • We Say...

    It seems somehow fitting that Schubert never heard his sixth Mass. The work, first performed almost a year after his death, was intended to be played at the Parish Church of the Holy Trinity, where Beethoven — one of Schubert's heroes — was laid to rest only a year before Schubert penned it. But instead of being a proper tribute to a composer that taught him so much, it instead stands — as many have noted — as an unplanned memorial to himself. Conductor Richard Hickox leads the Collegium Musicum 90 Chorus along, as they weave the languorous, Romantic passages that Schubert produced for this stunning work.
