GABRIEL FAURÉ - REQUIEM - PHILIPPE HERREWEGHE (CONDUCTOR) - LA CHAPELLE ROYALE - ENSEMBLE MUSIQUE OBLIQUE - 0794881853427 -
Harmonia Mundi 501292
This recording received a Choc du Monde de la Musique award. This requiem mass by Fauré is not dark and foreboding like most, but is rather uplifting, carrying the soul to a better place.
The last section of the work, "In Paradisum", is truly a representation of blissful light, and it's performed here to perfection.
