Mass in A flat

Album by Franz Schubert & Wendy Eathorne & Bernadette Greevy & Wynford Evans & Christopher Keyte & Cambridge Choir of St John’s College & Academy of St Martin in the Fields & George Guest

Mass No. 6 in A-flat major (D.950) is a mass by Austrian composer Franz Schubert, composed in 1828. Scored for soloists, choir and orchestra, it follows the traditional mass structure while employing rich Romantic harmonies, expanded orchestral textures and moments of symphonic scale, and it is one of Schubert's late works completed in the year of his death, reflecting his move toward larger-scale sacred writing.
First released: 1977
