Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Mass in C minor
K. 427
Mozart's Mass in C minor (K. 427) is one of his most ambitious sacred works. Left unfinished, it survives without the Credo and with incomplete sections, yet what exists is extraordinary. The soprano arias "Laudamus te" and "Et incarnatus est" are among the most demanding and beautiful in the soprano repertoire.
