2007.6.7. Seattle Symphony
    Gerard Schwarz, conductor
    Christine Goerke, soprano
    Sarah Heltzel, mezzo-soprano
    Gary Lakes, tenor
    Patrick Carfizzi, bass

    Levente Gyöngyösi: Verküdigung
    Karel Husa: Music for Prague
    Leos Janácek: Glagolitic Mass
The first piece was composed in 2001 by a young compose born in 1975. Very nice piece. I didn't like the second one. Janacek's mass sounds more down to earth than holy. All the lead singers except the tenor have beautiful voices.
