Dear all, Have recently purchased recordings of both the above.
If people are familiar with Palestrina - what do they think of it? I found
it quite hard going and perhaps a little montonous even thought the cast on
my Kubelik recording is very starry. Did anyone see it at the ROH Covent
Garden some time back. I missed it. Perhaps it is better live.
I think the Franz Schmidt is altogether superior with overwhelming
choruses. It is a setting of the Revelation of St John the Divine.
Best wishes
