"Aldrig har väl denna dödsmässa klingat trotsigare på skiva"
(Svenska Dagbladet)

The magnificent performance recorded here, given on February 14, 1994, in the restored Kreuzkirche, commemorated the destruction of Dresden. I don’t think it is only this emotive association that gives it its special quality. Never have I been so struck by the music’s sadness, the devastating sense of humanity’s immemorial fears and longings. Of the many occasions Colin Davis has conducted the work, this is surely the finest. The massed Dresden choirs (tenors fully equal to their demanding part) sing superbly, and the recording, while suitably grand, is also wonderfully detailed,with the vital woodwind writing always clear and telling.
