Mass In E Minor For 8-part Chorus And Wind Ensemble: Sanctus 12. .. as one would expect from La Chapelle Royale, one of Europe's most consistently artful HIPP choruses. And craftily conducted by Philippe Herreweghe, one of Europe's best HIPP conductors, who seems to have a "soft spot" for the music of Anton Bruckner (1824-1896). No reflections on Bruckner's symphonies here, but as a composer of sacred motets and masses, Bruckner was decidedly sub par by 15th and 16th Century standards. Want a dozen reasons why Bruckner gets no more than three stars Johannes Ockeghem Josquin Deprez Antoine Brumel Pierre de la Rue Costanzo Festa Alexander Agricola Jacob Obrecht Heinrich Isaac Ludwig Senfl Cipriano da Rore Orlando di Lasso Tomas Luis Victoria Shoelaces were not in fashion in the Renaissance. Had they been, Bruckner would have been lucky to tie any of those composers' laces. Perhaps, however, one should look to Bruckner's close contemporaries for less invidious comparisons.
