Thaïs

2021 Juno Award for Best Classical Album: Vocal or Choral

Conducted by TSO Conductor Laureate Sir Andrew Davis, and featuring a cast of renowned Canadian and international singers, with the Toronto Mendelssohn Choir, Massenet: Thaïs was recorded live by Soundmirror, Inc. at Roy Thomson Hall in Toronto in November 2019. The recording received high praise from critics worldwide, who singled out the cast and the Orchestra under Sir Andrew Davis, calling it “thrilling concert performance” (CBC Music). Massenet: Thaïs also marks the final recording of Canadian soprano Erin Wall, who lost her life to cancer in October 2020. Erin worked with the TSO several times over the course of her career, and the TSO is the fortunate recipient of her vibrant and emotionally charged portrayal in the title role.
