Davis,Colin / Lso / Lsc / Brewer / Cargill - Verdi: Requiem Mass - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

'Sir Colin Davis conducts the Requiem with a judicious mix of fire and meditative calm' (Gramophone) 'a strong set of soloists... Every note fills me with affection and wonder, and that's rare... his performance really feels like a live one as if we're hearing this glorious score straight out of the crucible in which it was forged... From the Domine Jesu Christe onwards everyone seems gripped by the unfolding drama, prompting them to give of their individual and collective best... there's a tension in the orchestra a sense of approaching finality... that dark, tolling figure in the Lux Aeterna is unforgettable, the soloists singing with a liberating loveliness that's equally memorable... Dies irae is (another) case in point... Sir Colin's performance is in another league entirely' (MusicWeb) Album Tracks 1. Requiem Mass I. Requiem Aternam 2. Requiem Mass II. Dies Irae 3.
