Concept, character and cool – Emily D'Angelo's debut album on Deutsche Grammophon encompasses everything that comes so naturally to this young Canadian vocalist. Her chosen title for this thoughtfully curated sonic journey comes from Hellenistic rhetoric and sums up the essence of the album: enargeia – in the artist's own words – "a description so vivid it seems to conjure its subject into existence".

D'Angelo has chosen music from the 12th and 21st centuries written by four female composers – Hildegard von Bingen, Hildur Guðnadóttir, Missy Mazzoli andSarah Kirkland Snider – several of whose works are presented in brand-new chamber/electronic arrangements. "Each track is born out of the previous," explains the singer, "as the listener is guided through a progres­sion, a cohesive and exploratory listening experience."

enargeiawas recorded in Berlin between December 2020 and March 2021 in collaboration with das freie orchester Berlin and conductor Jarkko Riihimäki, the Kuss Quartett and Matangi Quartet, and solo instrumentalists Wolfgang Fischer, Rene Flächsenhaar, Mikayel Hakhnazaryan, Frédéric L'Épée, Jonas Niederstadt, Marc Prietzel, Marion Ravot, Christian Vogel andNorbert Wahren. The album will be released on 8 October 2021.

    NPR's Tom Huizenga writes......The opening lines of Franz Schubert's song "An die Musik," his love letter to music from 1817, speaks of personal troubles, of being "caught in life's unruly round," and how the power of music can "lift you to a better world." Those sentiments have been hitting very close to the bone for many of us over the last year or so. Most of the albums on the list below w...
