Description
[Machine Translation] Blomstedt and the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra celebrate their visit to Japan. The High Mass by Sandstrom, a Swedish composer with a unique tradition of choral music, is a modern masterpiece comparable in scale to Bach's Mass in B minor, a 21st century Mass with a large orchestra, a large chorus, and five soloists similar to Mahler. Lidholm was Sandstrom's teacher in composition, and "Contachyon" is based on the Russian Orthodox Church's "Litany of Death" for the sacrament. Performers: Claudia Balinsky (soprano), Siri Torjesen (soprano), Sarah Olson (soprano), Malena Hernman (mezzo-soprano), Lili Persikivi (mezzo-soprano), Michael Schoenheit (organ), MDR Radio Choir Leipzig Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra, Herbert Blomstedt, conductor Recording: May (1) and September (2) 2003 at the Gewandhaus, Leipzig (digital recording) (4D audio recording)
