About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

This recording pairs the gentlest of requiems. Although he based his Requiem on the traditional Latin text, Gabriel Fauré did away with certain sections -- most notably the tumultuous "Dies Irae" -- and added sections that emphasized his serene vision of the Mass, such as the beatific final "In paradisium." Maurice Duruflé wrote his Requiem half a century later, evidently taking the tranquillity of Fauré's work as his model. Based on Gregorian chants, Duruflé's music has a timeless quality that anticipated the music of today's neo-Spiritualist composers such as Arvo Pärt and John Tavener. The Atlanta Symphony Chorus has a sumptuous sonority that allows even the quietest passage to make an enormous emotional impact. Telarc's digital sound is exceptionally vivid and atmospheric. Andrew Farach-Colton, Barnes & Noble

June 09, 2003: I performed Durefle's Requiem with my college (Oberlin College) symphonic choir. The music is so majestic, so haunting that when we were finished with the piece, the audience just sat there silently for about a full minute before breaking out in wild applause. Absolutely one of the most beautiful choral pieces ever written

August 03, 2000: This is probably one of the most beautiful musical compilations I have heard. It is done so well by the Robert Shaw Festival Singers. If you loved Rachmanninov ''Vespers'' and ''Evocation of the Sprit,'' also done by the Festival Singers, you will love this.
