Mass in A flat, D678
In the final programme of the series, JANE GLOVER introduces a performance of this work recorded in Tewkesbury Abbey.
Throughout his short life, Schubert was working with words in many of his compositions, and the text of the Mass presented a very different challenge from the poetry used in his lieder.
