Boston Baroque - Haydn: Lord Nelson Mass - Classics Today

Martin Pearlman uses Haydn's original, more effective scoring for strings, organ, trumpets, and drums, and the opening Kyrie is extremely menacing and effective. So is the militant Benedictus, preceded by a beautifully serene Sanctus. The soloists are all very capable...the big moments in the Gloria and Credo come off so effectively.
