Emily D'Angelo, Das Freie Orchester Berlin, Jarkko Riihimaki Enargeia Vinyl LP
 
Challenging conventions and pushing boundaries, Emily D'Angelo is a new musical force to be reckoned with. Deutsche Grammophon has signed an exclusive agreement with the 26-year-old Italian-Canadian mezzo-soprano, an artist already in high demand at the world's leading opera houses and concert venues.
 
Her debut album Energeia, spotlights female composers, including original pieces by both Missy Mazzoli and Sarah Kirkland Snider, as well as two stunning vocal works by the Oscar-winning Hildur Guðnadóttir.
 
D'Angelo's initial inspiration for Enargeia was the medieval abbess, mystic and polymath Hildegard von Bingen whose influence runs like a thread throughout the album. She recalled, "I discovered her music as a kid, when I was singing in choir, and I was transfixed. I'd never heard anything like it before, yet it all sounded so familiar and organic."
