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
