Philippe HerrewegheAbout
Philippe Herreweghe's 1990 performance was the first modern reading of Gilles' celebrated Requiem from manuscript, shorn of Andre Campra's beefed up orchestration, and very fine it is. In the style of the French Grand Motet, much of the singing is given to soloists and quite florid - as is the choral work.
"Particularly recommendable among other discs of Baroque music is an idiomatic reading of music by Jean Gilles, whose Requiem deservedly went on being performed for nearly a century after the composer’s premature death in 1705" - BBC Music Magazine
"A splendid recording!" - Diapason
