In Review: Emily Birsan sings Beethoven's Missa Solemnis with the Melbourne Symphony
"The ensemble of the four – soprano Emily Birsan, mezzo Michèle Losier, tenor Andrew Staples, and bass-baritone Christian Van Horn – was exemplary, and their solo passages eloquent – and audible. It was a rare privilege to hear all soloists, but I shall never forget the poignancy of Michèle Losier's penetrating solo passages in the Agnus Dei, or the limber power and sensitivity of Emily Birsan's soprano as it lofted over the walls of sound from chorus and orchestra." -Australian Book Review
