Bruckner: Mass No. 2 in E Minor - Stravinsky: Mass
Two unconventional masses are juxtaposed in this album from conductor Gijs Leenaars and his Rundfunkchor Berlin: those of Anton Bruckner and Igor Stravinsky. Both of these striking works, which blend the old with the new in unexpected ways, are for choir and wind ensemble – here, players from the Rundfunk-Sinfonieorchester Berlin. Bruckner’s Mass No. 2 in E minor is performed in its 1882 version; Stravinsky wrote his Mass in the 1940s.
