“… The opening[Mozart’s Mass in C minor] Kyrie, with its throbbing bass line, robust woodwind interjections and elegant soprano ornamentation (impeccably sung by Crowe), is followed by an exuberant Gloria, pulsating Laudamus Te (Dennis the fine soprano here). Moving through the inner drama of the mass, the work finds monumental triumph in the double-chorus Sanctus, and redemption in the Benedictus, with its striding string figures, choral grandeur and quartet of voices. Also for double choir, CPE Bach’s short Heilig ist Gott, full of strange effects, sudden silences and wild key changes, is a joyful song of praise, over too soon.”
