Von Suppe: Extremum Judicium

Product Description Franz von Suppe was an operetta master who studied with the same teacher - Simon Sechter - as Anton Bruckner. He is also known for his religious works. This piece is a wonderfully dramatic work, saturated with melodies, that has been featured prominently in a few new recordings. Review It is exciting to discover hidden treasures when expecting dutiful obeisance towards a monumental form like a Requiem Mass to be offered by a composer associated more with lighter forms…The balance between dramatic authority and emotional intensity and earnestness is underlined by a strong group of soloists, complementing exciting choral and orchestral forces. --Patric Standford, Choir and Organ March/April 2014
