Durufle:
Requiem Op 9

Poulenc:
Quatre motets pour un temps de pénitence

One of the twentieth century’s best-loved choral works, Duruflé’s Requiem a magical synthesis of the old (plainsong) and the new (a harmonic language appropriate to its time and place) continues to cast its potent spell over performers and listeners alike. This new recording from Stephen Layton and his Trinity forces fully deserves to be regarded as ‘definitive’.
