These new recordings of the Requiem and the Mass in C minor featuring Yannick Nézet-Séguin, the RIAS Chamber Choir, and the Chamber Orchestra of Europe boast two of the brightest young stars of opera. Soprano Ying Fang, considered to be one of her generations great Mozartians, takes the Soprano I solos of the “Great” Mass in C minor, originally premiered by Constanze Mozart, née Constanze Weber. Mezzo-soprano Emily D’Angelo sings the contralto solos of the Requiem and the Soprano II solos in the “Great” Mass. D’Angelo won a Gramophone Award while still in her mid-twenties in 2022 for her debut solo album centered on vocal works by female composers and is an alumna of Ravinia’s Steans Music Institute Program for Singers. Tenor Stanislas de Barbeyrac and baritone Michael Volle round out the starry cast for this album recorded live last year at the Festspielhaus in Baden-Baden.
