I came across this
performance of Mozart's Great C-minor Mass on YT. It was labeled "Best
performance"). While the overall performance is certainly not the best
I've ever heard, I was charmed by the soprano soloist: Dorothee Mields (who specializes primarily in Baroque music).
OK,
there are a couple super-high notes that are a little off-center (the
danger/thrill of live performance), but I love her pure tone and her
expressive use (and non-use) of vibrato. Here is her performance of "Et
incarnatus est." (Unfortunately the person who made this excerpt cut off
the instrumental coda. But you can hear the whole mass at the link
above.)
