So glad to make acquaintance with this piece. Had maybe heard of Frank Martin but never really listened to anything by him. Love the sound of a cappella choir.

unpublished. in a desk drawer when he died. said it was between god and him. frank martin ftw.

[@jacobbump1282]

This is just a glorious piece. That Agnus Dei is one of a kind... so hauntingly beautiful!!

[@tinchenm3246]

Hervorragend gesungen. ... bin selber in einem Chor in dem wir diese Messe zur Zeit einstudieren und bald aufführen werden, ein traumhaftes,bewegendes Stück. ..

Just an amazing piece - Great performance. I performed it twice in Chicago; once with an only slightly overmatched group, and the other with a group that never should have taken it on. I would sure love another shot at it - Just sublime

[@jamesgrandjean6138]

I’m excited to perform this soon. It is sublime indeed.

[@polobede9054]

incroyable !!!!! une œuvre restée cachée par son compositeur + de 20 ans
Comme le disait frank martin il s'agissait juste d'une histoire entre dieu et lui !!
Mais mon dieu quelle belle histoire ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

The buildup in the Sanctus is soooo goooood in this performance, OMG. The way they widen the "ah" vowel slightly to push the edges of the dissonances...gah! So good. Thank you for posting this - I love this piece so much, and few perform it exactly as it should be done.

[@ducdeblangis3006]

La musique pour guitare de Frank Martin est aussi magnifique

[@Taks214]

Those runs in Gloria are absolutely FANTASTIC oh my word!

I performed hos requiem with my choir last week. Now I want to hear more from him. Thank you.

[@ISBJOERNAIR]

There is no better choir than Rias Berlin!

BEAUTIFUL

[@robschottjr.630]

One of the most beautiful masses ever written. I am personally a fan of the final movement. I am impressed that this choir was able to stay in tune throughout the piece. However, I think the Agnus Dei could be slowed down a click.

[@holapeople24]

i loved singing this piece... even the second choir in the Angus dei was riveting and exciting

[@johnwiens]

I think the CD cover is a paint of Lyonel Feininger.
