Great Mass in C minor / Ave verum corpus

Album by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart & Kiri Te Kanawa & Anne Sofie von Otter & Anthony Rolfe Johnson & Robert Lloyd & Academy of St Martin in the Fields & Academy of St Martin in the Fields Chorus & Sir Neville Marriner

Great Mass in C minor / Ave verum corpus is a pairing of sacred choral works by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, composed between 1782 and 1791. Rooted in the Classical sacred tradition, the music blends orchestral accompaniment, choral fugues and operatic solo writing, and the two works together illustrate developments in Mozart's approach to liturgical composition across his middle to late career.
First released: 1994
