Sacred Choral Music: Durufl茅鈥檚 Requiem

Organist Ashley Grote joins conductor Lionel Sow and the 成人快手 Singers for a concert of sacred choral music including Durufl茅's Requiem, from St Martin-in-the-Fields, London.

Maurice Durufl茅鈥檚 beautiful Requiem 鈥� one of the best-loved of 20th-century choral masterpieces 鈥� performed live by the 成人快手 Singers under conductor Lionel Sow.

Imagine a music that seems to exist outside of time. Deep tranquillity and profound emotion fuse to create a single, indefinable feeling, and ancient chants blossom like flowers into rich, shimmering harmonies. But words can鈥檛 really describe Maurice Durufl茅鈥檚 beautiful Requiem: composed just after World War II, it鈥檚 one of those pieces that quietly finds its way into your heart, and stays there forever.

Recorded at St. Martin-in-the-Fields, London on 4 November 2022. Presented by Ian Skelly.
