5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent recording of Faure's Requiem, 19 Feb 2001
One of the most intimate and articulate recordings of the Requiem that I've heard; it's a bargain at £4.99 and a "must have" if you haven't yet got any Faure.

If you already have a "traditional" recording of Faure's Requiem (i.e. scored for full orchestra and a large choir), buy this Schola Cantorum recording as well so that you hear the constrast in the arrangement that Denis Arnold has produced. It is based on the original instrumentation specified by the composer, and this makes a substantial difference to the listener's perception of the music. This performance is purer, far more intimate and personal, and yet it doesn't lose the drama and dynamic range of the "traditional" orchestral arrangement.

5.0 out of 5 stars A firm favourite, 24 Jul 2006
By J. Hutchings "jjhutchings" (Framlingham, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This edition is amongst my very favourite choral recordings. The simplicity of Fauré's original score (as opposed to the great orchestral rendering he was made to write by his publisher) shows typical Fauré at work - great harmonic language and melody through the simplest of means - compare this with his D minor Piano Trio Op.120. There is so much more to it than Classic FM would have you think!

The performances are excellent, as one would hope from this great choir from Oxford, and the acoustic of Hertford College Chapel suits perfectly. The supplementals of the Messe Basse, some organ works and also de Severac's now-popular Tantum ergo (no doubt aided by this fine recording) add to what is a very good recording at an astonishing price! A must for every fan of choral music.

4.0 out of 5 stars Stunning !, 14 Jul 2005
By A Customer
As the owner of many recordings of this particular work, and as a fan of slow, meaningful and fluid performances, this particular CD has remained a great favourate. My only preference would have been for a Soprano Treble performance of the Pei Jesu, but let not my criticism here detract from Lisa Beckley's admirable performance. I have personally yet to find a better performance of the Offertoire, which in the case of this particular CD i can only describe as sublime.

I have found this CD a perfect counterbalance to some of the more rigid but perhaps more technically correct CD performances of this work. I have in the past and will continue to recommend this work as a good first buy and regard this purchase as excellent value for money.
