About Faure: Requiem, Op. 48 / Durufle: Requiem, Op. 9
Amazon.com At a budget price, these two lovely performances are a steal. I particularly love this rich, luscious version of the Durufle, with Dame Kiri Te Kanawa the most appealing soprano soloist the work has ever had. Sir Colin Davis chooses the composer's full orchestral version (there are three different arrangements) and simply plays the pants off of it. He also chooses the larger orchestration of the Faure, though it has become common nowadays to use the more restrained original version for chamber orchestra. Ordinarily a cool interpreter, Andrew Davis (no relation to Colin) seems unusually committed to Faure's cause as well. In fact, these performances are probably the best he has ever recorded. --David Hurwitz
