1.The Richest Hours of the Medieval Age - A Medieval Journey by: Anonymous Chant October 01, 1999

This set of six CDs is supposed to take us through the music of the Middle Ages from before Gregorian Chant to the Renaissance, but also from Byzantium to England, from the Mozarabic and Christian Iberian Peninsula to Germany. Note the Slavonic, Scandinavian and Irish traditions are missing. In fact the orthodox tradition is practically absent. These CDs insist on the fact that Gregorian music is derived or invented from traditions coming from the Middle East, what has become in the 7th and subsequent centuries Islam, or part of Islam, via Byzantium and Mozarabic Spain. But that is not enough again. The Hebraic tradition is strangely absent and with it the connection to Sumerian and old Indo-Iranian traditions that are totally absent. It also ... Read More:

This recording is marketed on its stellar soloists. Bryn Terfel delivers wonderfully in the Fauré requiem but he is a little pressed on the high notes in the Duruflé requiem. He puts a lot of drama into his reading, though, which is especially good in the passage "Tremens factus sum ego" (I tremble with fear). He has quite a muscular voice, which is what's required for the Duruflé parts. Cecilia Bartoli is in her right element in the Duruflé Pie Jesu, which, in my mind, should be carried out by a mezzo rather than a treble soloist. Her warm, yet clear reading of this movement makes it one of the best around. Her perfomance in the Fauré Pie Jesu, however isn't half as good. In Bartoli's defence, one must remember that this was actually ... Read More:

Fauré is perfectly at ease in this Requiem in that extremely agitated period of 1900, agitated by the industrial revolution or by the social war going on in the mines and the big factories. This world cut in two with the haves on one hand and the have-nots on the other, and the tremendous violence between them, between those who had paradise on earth and those who only had paradise beyond death, and death is flattening all differences into some long walk or long march to that beyond no word in no language is able to name, let alone describe. Fauré tried then with his music to take us from the riches of Madeleine's church in Paris to the soul-breaking death, that door to a somewhere that is nowhere in our knowledge. Soft, deep, somber, lurking behind ... Read More:

The Cleobury, St John's College recording of Durufle's Requiem is a gem. Unlike other recordings it eschews the operatic and attains a yearning frailty and simplicity entirely in keeping with the work's themes. It remains, for my money, the finest and most moving recording of this composition I have heard.

The recordings of the Faure and Durufle Requiems on this CD are really very good although old, with the solos, in particular Luxon in Faure's Libera me being particular highlights
