"Recording of the Month ... quite outstanding in its beauty, balance and sensitivity ..."
- BBC Music Magazine
"Four Stars ... the singing and playing cannot be faulted ... an exemplary release, enthusiastically recommended!"
- Audiophile Audition
"... the performance does convey quite a different character than others; somehow even more gentle and contemplative in nature through the use of slower tempi and extremely controlled, even subdued choral passages ... alumnus Gerald Finley’s gorgeous bass-baritone solos are wonderfully dramatic."
- The WholeNote
The album marks the first recording of Marc Rigaudière’s new reconstruction of the earliest complete liturgical performance of Fauré's Requiem. It faithfully recreates the 1889 premiere, even using the identical organ stops available to the organist at that time in Paris. As well, the instruments and techniques employed are typical of those used in a French orchestra of the late 19th century. The expanded version of the Requiem, as edited by John Rutter, is also included here for comparison. These works are complemented by Fauré's Messe Basse for high voices, sung by the 16 choristers of the Choir of King's College Cambridge.
