Album description
An album featuring Fauré's Requiem and Mozart's Ave, verum Corpus and Vespers.
The result of a collaboration between two of the finest modern day exponents of classical music, The Sixteen and the Academy of St Martin in the Fields, this exquisite disc brings fresh life to Fauré’s peerless Requiem and injects imaginative invention and poetic phrasing into two of Mozart’s choral masterpieces.
Recorded at the 2007 Mostly Mozart Festival at London’s Barbican Hall, this disc reflects the unique live experience of a concert performance that captivated its audience.
