Airs sacrés

Description

In just a few years, her career has made remarkable leaps. To the point that she is now in demand all over the world. Annick Massis has a high-pitched voice (somewhat like that of her compatriot Natalie Dessay, with whom she shares a number of roles), an instrumental finish, exceptional musicality, and that brightness in her timbre that is ideally suited to bel canto. Leaving behind the great romantic heroines for the duration of a record, the young French soprano ventures into sacred repertoire, composing a program around Mozart and Haydn. Sacred and religious pieces, certainly, but which offer the artist the opportunity to showcase her formidable technique; the Alleluia from the motet "Exsultate Jubilate" is absolutely stunning! A rare intensity.
