Re: John Quinn's review of Karajan's remastered 1966 Missa Solemnis
Thanks for your reply, Paul. I agree about the Haydn - I had forgotten how bloody good it is - and the Honegger especially. The Prokofiev though is just too 'civilized' for my liking. Give me raucous Russian brass and the ending of movement three is just plain schmaltz. It sounds like Puccini to me. Regards.
