Conductor Marc Minkowski leads Les Musiciens du Louvre with chorus and soloists Lydia Hoen Tjore (soprano), Sun-Ly Pierce (mezzo-soprano), Lunga Eric Hallam (tenor) and Alex Rosen (bass) in a programme of sacred works by Wilhelm Friedemann Bach and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. The Requiem is paired with an intimate Adagio and the motet Ave verum corpus, creating a sequence that moves from introspective lament to dramatic, luminous climaxes. Performed continuously, the choir, strings and organ weave dense textures and radiant sonorities.
