Mozart's Solemn Vespers and Mass in C Minor, performed by Le Cercle de l'Harmonie, conducted by Jeremie Rhorer.
Perhaps overshadowed by the Requiem in the popular imagination, Mozart's great Mass in C Minor justifies an equally illustrious place in the pantheon of sacred choral music. Not finished, and even pillaged in parts by the composer for a later work, this remarkable union of formidable musical vision and religious text draws both on Mozart's study of the monumental sacred works of his Baroque predecessors, and on his skill for drama that bore such fruit in his operas.
