Sacred Choral Music: Duruflé’s Requiem
Organist Ashley Grote joins conductor Lionel Sow and the ´óÏó´«Ã½ Singers for a concert of sacred choral music including Duruflé's Requiem, from St Martin-in-the-Fields, London.
Maurice Duruflé’s beautiful Requiem – one of the best-loved of 20th-century choral masterpieces – performed live by the ´óÏó´«Ã½ Singers under conductor Lionel Sow.
Imagine a music that seems to exist outside of time. Deep tranquillity and profound emotion fuse to create a single, indefinable feeling, and ancient chants blossom like flowers into rich, shimmering harmonies. But words can’t really describe Maurice Duruflé’s beautiful Requiem: composed just after World War II, it’s one of those pieces that quietly finds its way into your heart, and stays there forever.
Recorded at St. Martin-in-the-Fields, London on 4 November 2022. Presented by Ian Skelly.
