Fauré Requiem

Photograph of Alexandre Bloch conducting

Eternal light: the CBSO Chorus sings Fauré’s haunting Requiem.

In paradise, angels sing. Gabriel Fauré was a quiet soul, and there’s not much rage or fury in his Requiem – just some of the most beautiful choral music ever written. In the first half, two fizzing French showpieces, played with panache by the flawless Rosanne Philippens.
