The discovery of any "new" large-scale work by Berlioz is bound to kick up excitement in the music world. So it was in 1992 when the manuscript of the long-lost Solemn Mass, composed in 1824, when Berlioz was 20, was unearthed by a Belgian choirmaster in Antwerp. A scholarly edition was quickly prepared, and John Eliot Gardiner gave the first series of performances in five European cities in 1993. It is from one of those live performances, in London's Westminster Cathedral, that this world-premiere recording derives.
Berlioz destroyed the manuscript after a couple of performances, finding the score as a whole unworthy, though he recycled some of the material in later works. Clearly the composer was too hard on his youthful creation. Musical inspiration is certainly uneven: Several backward-looking, academic sections stand cheek to jowl alongside pages of striking originality, lyrical delicacy and spiritual majesty.
Gardiner's soloists, firmly blended chorus and splendid period-instruments orchestra make this as much a stirring musical occasion for the home listener as it must have been for the concert audience.
Philips' sound is suitably resonant, although the orchestra (which includes such exotic lower brass as serpent, ophicleide and buccin) could have been more forwardly placed. This could well be the choral record of the year.— John von Rhein
