About "Schubert: Magnificat in C Major, D. 486" by Brigitte Fassbaender
Fassbaender’s contralto cuts through Schubert’s C-major Magnificat like late-afternoon light through stained glass—devout yet restless. The orchestral tuttis swell with baroque grandeur, but her voice harbors a private tremor, a quiet unease beneath the Latin praise.
