Schubert composed 6 Masses and a good deal of miscellaneous choral music. This is by far his best known choral work. And what a sumptuous piece it is: the beautiful 4-part chords of the women floating on top of the delicate piano accompaniment. This was one of the first pieces we recorded; and, to get the best sound, we positioned the 9-foot Steinway piano right in the center aisle with the women all circled around it!
