Dated though his conception may be, Otto Klemperer's account of the B Minor Mass has a majesty no other version quite matches. It proceeds from an ennobled, benevolent, Olympian view of the score; and while it sounds decidedly Romantic, it conveys deep feeling and fully realizes the spirit behind the score. Klemperer's chorus and soloists (Janet Baker, in particular) are warmly committed, and the playing of the New Philharmonia shows admirable polish. The recording, from 1967, is spacious if somewhat grainy in texture. --Ted Libbey
