Descripción del producto No Description Available.Genre: Classical MusicMedia Format: Compact DiskRating: Release Date: 28-MAR-2000 Tienda Joshua Rifkin and Andrew Parrott no longer seem to be lonely voices crying in the proverbial wilderness. The idea of performing Bach's sacred music with only soloists seems to be catching on a bit. This recording, for instance, completes Chandos's one-singer-per-part set of Bach's four "Lutheran" Masses (i.e., Kyrie and Gloria only), performed by the (enlarged) Purcell Quartet with all the transparency, exactitude, and grace they brought to volume 1 of the series. Perhaps surprisingly, it's the instrumental detail--usually buried underneath the voices of a choir but clearly audible here--that's striking: take the lively oboe figures that give a Handelian feel to the Gloria of the G major Mass, for example. If you've heard the Gabrieli Consort & Players' rip-roaring rendition of the F major Mass, the Purcell Quartet's performance may seem a bit too genteel--but only a bit: it's both energetic and graceful. The excellent soprano and alto from the first disc, Susan Gritton and Robin Blaze, are replaced here by Nancy Argenta and Michael Chance, two baroque singing stars of the 1980s: Argenta sounds fairly good, much less shaky than she did on Masaaki Suzuki's St. Matthew Passion, but Chance sounds dismayingly unsteady. On the other hand, tenor Mark Padmore uses an impressive range of vocal colors (sometimes sounding almost like a countertenor himself), bass Peter Harvey brings real merriment to his virtuoso aria "Gratias agimus," and the horn players (on valveless instruments) toss off their difficult parts with real aplomb. This disc may have a few more flaws than its predecessor, but it's got skillful, very listenable performances--yet another demonstration that this supposedly kooky Bach-as-madrigal idea can really work. --Matthew Westphal
