Haydn: Gloria part one (Missa in Angustiis, Nelsonmesse)

[ramanatom65]

Just wrote a little piece with a reference to this great mass, and am pleased to hear it again. Overall, a good performance. It's difficult to get that soprano coloratura part right--if it's not done right, it sounds "frilly" and takes away from the tremendous power of the Kyrie--and I must say, both conductor and soprano do a fine job here. Actually, in my little piece I was thinking of Missa in tempore belli, got the names mixed up.
