Recorded at the 2007 Mostly Mozart Festival at London’s Barbican Hall, this disc brings fresh life to Fauré’s peerless Requiem and injects imaginative invention and poetic phrasing into two of Mozart’s choral masterpieces. Conducted by Harry Christophers, The Sixteen and the Academy of St Martin in the Fields are joined by four fine soloists for this recording: soprano Elin Manahan Thomas, alto Ruth Massey, tenor Mark Dobell and baritone Roderick Williams.
