Disc of the Month
Performance ***** Sound *****
Richard Wigmore - BBC Music Magazine - February 2004
I confidently commend Hickox’s outstanding new version [Mass in C major].
Peter branscombe - International Record Review - January 2004
’Editors Choice’
’Beethoven’s radical rethink of the liturgy engenders a joyous reading from Hickox.’
Edward Greenfield - Gramophone magazine - January 2004
'The Chandos team specialises in full and juicy recordings, and one of the joys of CHAN 0703, a Beethoven disc dominated by the Mass in C, Op. 86, lies in its well-balanced sound. No hiding under the orchestra's coat-tails for the choir of Collegium Musicum 90; they ride happily on top of their lively partners. The enthusiastic conductor is Richard Hickox, following his delectable Chandos versions of Masses by Haydn and Hummel.'
The Times
Clear-toned period instruments provide a kaleidoscopic accompaniment to magnificent singing. Outstanding." *****
Andrew Stewart - Classic FM Magazine - January 2004
Classical CD of the Week
This performance maintains the exceptional standards of Hickox’s previous classical mass recordings, with the outstanding choir and period-instrument orchestra of Collegium Musicum 90 and four soloists, led by the radiant high voices of Rebecca Evans and Pamela Helen Stephen. The even rarer Elegiac Song and a Goethe setting, Meeresstille und glückliche Fahrt, are welcome makeweights.
Hugh Canning - The Sunday Times - 14 December 2003
