Description
One of the twentieth century's best-loved choral works, Duruflé's Requiem—a magical synthesis of the old (plainsong) and the new (a harmonic language appropriate to its time and place)—continues to cast its potent spell over performers and listeners alike.
This new recording from Stephen Layton and his Trinity forces fully deserves to be regarded as 'definitive'.
"A Gallic choral feast and strongly recommended." – Gramophone
"The choir is magnificent, emerging through […] Harrison Cole's adroitly chosen organ textures in the Introit, yet producing searing radiance in the climax of the Sanctus. […] a sublimely evocative disc." – BBC Music Magazine, 5 STARS
Anthems, Vol 1 CDA68434 (works by Elgar, SS Wesley, Howells, Spicer) "A deeply satisfying mixture......I cannot wait to hear Vol 2." - Gramophone Magazine
