Album 2008 on Naxos label
Classical (Modern, Neo-Romantic)
Playing Time: 74:45 Recorded at the Large Concert Studio, National Radio Company of Ukraine (Kiev), from 14th to 18th June, 2006. ℗ and © 2008 Naxos Rights International Ltd. Disc made in Canada. Printed and assembled in USA. This disc brings together the first recordings of two symphonic Masses, orchestral works (without chorus) inspired by and structured according to the Ordinary of the Roman Catholic Mass. Both composers, one Roman Catholic (Flagello), the other Jewish (Rosner), were in their late twenties when they wrote their respective works, and both have pursued an aesthetic orientation that would generally be termed "neo-romantic". However, while the two works are comparable in concept and dimension, they are dramatically different in musical style and impact (although the same traditional plainchant appears in the "Gloria" of each work). CD is packaged in a clear jewel case which includes a 6 page foldout booklet, notes in English, and the Naxos "American Classics Catalog" (16 pages of American Classics releases).
