Reviews

The newest Naxos recording of the Requiem tends to trump all previous versions, even the composer’s own very fine account. Recorded in the expansive acoustic of Douai Abbey, Berkshire, it is very beautifully sung indeed, joyful in the Sanctus and darkly dramatic in the Agnus Dei with its steady drum beat. Elin Manahan Thomas is an ideal soloist singing the Pie Jesu with touching simplicity, and rising up celestially in the Lux aeterna.
