Haydn's last six Masses were all composed to celebrate the name day of his patron's wife, the Princess Esterhazy. They represented a revolution in the application of symphonic principles to choral composition. Instead of writing individual "numbers"--arias, duets, and choruses--Haydn treated each section of the Mass as a unified single movement, as in a symphony, grouping them in such a way as to present a dramatic contrast. They are tremendously grateful both to play and to sing. Bruno Weil's authentic instrument performances are vivacious and exciting, and this disc also contains the magnificent "Te Deum" from 1800--a terrific short piece with a killer tune at the beginning. --David Hurwitz
