Strange things can happen when opera composers decide to write a mass. This one was performed almost a cappella by a small complement of first-class singers and recorded live in the Church of the Baumburg Cloister in 1978.

Wolfgang Sawallisch, conductor

Sawallisch was a prolific conductor of both symphonies and operas whose career was cut short by orthostatic hypotension. He spent ten years as music director of the Philadelphia Symphony, but was more appreciated by European audiences. His solid, balanced musicianship was well-matched to Schubert's solidest symphony.
