This review is from: Amy Beach: Grand Mass in Eb [Transcribed for chorus, organ, harp, percussion & soloists] (Newport) (Audio CD)

The only good recording of this work currently available. Beautiful, heartfelt, and uplifting. Written by the first American woman composer of symphonic works, at around the age of 19.

This review is from: Amy Beach: Grand Mass in Eb [Transcribed for chorus, organ, harp, percussion & soloists] (Newport) (Audio CD)

An excellent production of a relatively obscure work that needs greater exposure. This edition scored for organ, harp, and tympani is thrilling in the climaxes. The chorus sings with professionalism. All in all, a must for any lover of choral music.

This review is from: Amy Beach: Grand Mass in Eb [Transcribed for chorus, organ, harp, percussion & soloists] (Newport) (Audio CD)

Is this a recording of the Gand Mass in Eb by Amy Beach or is it athe score? or Both. It is very expensive if only the recording. I am searching for the score and recording.

Thanks for your help.
