World premiere recording of these titles by Johan Helmich Roman Swedish Baroque composer. A specialist in baroque music, violinist Sue-Ying Koang has notably played with Les Arts Florissants and the Pygmalion ensemble.

This recording offers us a close look into Michael Haydn's musical activities for the church, the court and its surroundings. The Missa is perfectly in accord with the then current ideals for reform in the Catholic Church: functional, short, simple, modest and linked to the Gregorian tradition. It is amazing how Haydn was able to compose such varied, lively and attractive music within these strict guidelines.
