The performance material of the pioneering completion of Mozart's great Missa in cK. 427 by the Dutch musicologist Clemens Kemme is now completed with a choral score. The reconstruction, seen by many international experts as the most convincing solution, especially in the double-choir Sanctus fugue, thus becomes affordable for larger choirs. The compact and clearly arranged choral score is also considerably lighter than the piano vocal score; cue notes provide good orientation within the work.
This edition represents the culmination of some eleven or so years of extensive research. It brings an exhaustive understanding of eighteenth-century practices and Mozart's stylistic habits to bear on the unfathomable task of replicating Mozart's style without impinging upon the tone of the work. The rigour with which Clemens Kemme has produced this edition of Mozart's abandoned mass is nothing but exceptional. (Peter Keenan, Eighteenth-Century Music).
