Background: Paul McCreesh and his Gabrieli Consort & Players again turn their attention to sacred choral music with a new recording of Mozart's Mass in C minor. To further explore the full spectrum of dramatic soprano singing, McCreesh combines the mass with two dramatic scenes for soprano and orchestra by Haydn and Beethoven.

Both settings, mini-operas in themselves, give voice to the rage of an abandoned woman.

The album, recorded in London in late 2004, followed a series of highly acclaimed concert performances of the same repertoire. The Times (London) was one of many publications to praise the ensemble's special rendering: 'McCreesh propels his period-instrument band and incisive choir with feverish energy. There's never a dull moment. Yet he also has the imagination and control to conjure up delectable oases of calm'.
