Combining Gerorian chant with his own unique compostional style, Duruflé’s Requiem has proved to be one of the most popular and enduring choral works of the 20th Century. On this recording, Jeremy Backhouse leads the celebrated Vasari Singers, as well as star soloists Sarah Connolly and Christopher Maltman , in a performance of this alongside works by Duruflé’s musical contemporary, Jean-Jaques Grunenwald.
The singing of the Vasari Singers is nothing short of superb… The catalogue boasts several fine recordings of the Duruflé Requiem but I think this one is now first choice, its attraction enhanced by the imaginative couplings – MusicWeb International
★★★★★ This superb disc is very strongly recommended – Musical Opinion Magazine
