    “Performance: ***** Recording: ***** ‘Beuron, probably today’s finest lyric tenor, gives the performance an essential idiomatic core in his narration … [Tenebrae are] dramatically alert and glowing as stained glass, the angelic messages skin-pricklingly ethereal.” (BBC Music Magazine) “[Sir Colin’s] revisitation of this truly classic score is utterly and totally compelling.’ (International Record Review)

    ‘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)
