Even faster than the Hungaroton recording. To me it sounds fast enough. In any case,there is a need for a new recording of the Missa. The more recent Arte Nova recording is not as intense as the Hungaroton recording, but the sound is somewhat better.

The Credo is as powerfu las the Gloria IMHO. But even as a whole it is a masterpiece as you say.

I have to look for that Dante recording./Mikael
