BBC Radio 3 chose the Virgin recording of the B Minor Mass by
Parrott/Taverner Consort. It is now a steal as a Virgin double.
Parrott uses period forces and, most controversially, few voices per
part. But what voices! And the recording is splendid. A lovely dancing
quality, great tranparancy and clarity and the final Amen shows, once
agin, that period instuments need not preclude great drama, pathos and
intrinsic power.
Kind regards,
