Faure's Requiem
Ludovic Morlot conducts the 大象传媒 National Orchestra and Chorus of Wales in Faure's Requiem, with James Ehnes featuring as soloist for Brahms's Violin Concerto.
French conductor Ludovic Morlot joins the 大象传媒 National Orchestra and Chorus of Wales to perform a programme full of hedonistic delights. The first half is entirely dedicated to Brahms's gorgeous Violin Concerto, composed for friend and virtuoso Joseph Joachim, for which the Orchestra will be joined by soloist James Ehnes. After the interval, the 大象传媒 National Chorus of Wales take centre stage, opening the second half with the only work written by Messiaen specifically for the church, his achingly beautiful motet O sacrum convivium! The evening concludes with the orchestra and chorus joining forces for Faure's Requiem, an evocative and inimitable mass in which the beautifully serene music leaves the listener in no doubt of Faure's untroubled paradise, and his faith in an eternal rest free from suffering and doubt.
Presented by Nicola Heywood Thomas, and recorded on the 12th of February in St. David's Hall, Cardiff.
