Info for Faure Requiem, Op. 48 / Pavane, Op. 50

Thanks to the dedication, skill, and expressive power of the vocal soloists, choir, orchestra, and conductor, this profound and beautiful performance of Gabriel Fauré's "Requiem, Op. 48," is one of the most moving interpretations on album, and sure to garner critical praise for its polish and eloquence. Baritone Harry Peeters is especially moving in his solo in the Libera Me, and soprano Christiane Oelze's Pie Jesu is as seraphic and serene as one might wish. The scrupulously blended voices of the Netherlands Chamber Choir and the sonorous Limburg Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Ed Spanjaard, merge seamlessly in this gentle, legato performance. Yet it should also be noted that Spanjaard's pacing, while steady, is slightly faster than usual, which keeps the "Requiem" fluid and light, and prevents even the most foreboding passages from sliding into gloominess. (Blair Sanderson, All Music Guide)

“This is the hallmark of a great recording – one that does not beat you over the head but invites you inside its acoustic framework to share its delights”. (Rad Bennett, UltraAudio.com)

“Included with the Requiem on this album are several of Fauré’s lesser known smaller choral works. Most notable is a late edition of the orchestral Pavane to which Fauré has set a poetic text. Also included is the beautiful anthem Cantique de Jean Racine, performed here with orchestral accompaniment. Packaged with this excellent performance of the Requiem, this recording is a wonderful collection of Fauré’s choral music. (Adam Luebke, Opera Today)
