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 Julian South London
