Gabriel Fauré - Requiem Version 1893

Washington Post
"Thoughtful, introspective and deeply touching…the range of tone and feeling Herreweghe illuminates on the small canvas is astonishingly rich. The timpani sounds like distant thunder…the solo violin in the "Sanctus" is sweetly citric; the boys' choir is little short of seraphic…I don't think I've ever heard a performance so in keeping with the muted, graceful sadness of this music."
