"This most peaceful and accepting of all Requiems finds its ideal benefactor in Carlo Maria Giulini, whose characteristically unhurried approach precisely captures the work's calming essence."

"This most peaceful and accepting of all Requiems finds its ideal benefactor in Carlo Maria Giulini, whose characteristically unhurried approach precisely captures the work's calming essence. The effect is hypnotic; at no time does the music reach - neediness, after all, is a remnant of the earthly life left behind. The tranquilizing effect is heightened by the choral sound, which evokes angels welcoming from on high. So utterly spellbinding is Giulini's account that when the final "rest in peace" from the Paradisum fades and fades and fades into gradual nothingness, you won't be able to tell where the music ends and heaven begins."
