Portraits of tonight's composers
This programme presents Fauré’s ever-popular Requiem in its original version with chamber orchestra together with the less familiar but equally attractive Mass by Frank Martin, a real choral spectacular for unaccompanied double choir. Duruflé’s motets enjoy regular appearances in the choral repertoire and their intimate style completes this survey of French choral repertoire.
