 Luigi Cherubini
If Cherubini had known how to combine his high ideals with an urbane tolerance of the opinions of persons of inferior taste, the severity of his music would not have prevented his attaining the height of prosperity.
Cherubini's librettist was also the author of the libretto from which Fidelio was adapted, and Cherubini's score was a constant object of Beethoven's study, not only before the production of the first version of Fidelio as Leonore, but also throughout Beethoven's life.
And though we must regret that Cherubini's disposition prevented him from understanding Beethoven, it would be by no means true to say that he was uninfluenced at least by the sheer grandeur of the scale which Beethoven had by that time established as the permanent standard for musical art.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Mario Luigi Carlo Zenobio Salvatore Cherubini
In 1784 Cherubini was invited to visit London, where he composed and had represented two operas, "La Finta Principessa" and "Giulio Sabino", works which brought him the appointment of composer to the Court.
Cherubini's great inventiveness and powers of expression were now at their height.
Cherubini's masses, like Beethoven's "Missa Solemnis", are frequently performed in Germany and elsewhere on festival occasions when large vocal and instrumental bodies unite for the interpretation of the loftiest musical productions of the human mind.

 NPR World of Opera
The fact is, Cherubini is one of those composers whose name is a lot more familiar than his music.
On top of all that, while Cherubini achieved his greatest fame composing operas, he virtually gave up opera for the last three decades of his life, after a series of failures due in large part to inadequate librettos.
Yet, despite its obscure storyline, Cherubini blessed the opera with some remarkable music - more than worthy of a composer who had a pronounced influence on nearly every form of opera he touched during one of music's most distinguished and far-reaching careers.

The bass is vocally OK but actually under-acts the words, and the tenor, while not vocally challenged either, sometimes seems to be a caricature of Italian singers, scooping, sliding and in the "Ingemisco" going horribly flat coming off a high note.
The often overlooked Cherubini Requiem, which appears on the second CD, is a crisp, melodic, haunting presentation.
