BBC Music Magazine
"If you want a traditionally conceived Requiem, well sung … superbly played and vividly recorded, Davis's performance has much to commend it." Gramophone
To this day mystery surrounds the circumstances under which Mozart was commissioned by a stranger to write a Requiem Mass. He died before its completion, only adding to the air of foreboding that the work so effectively evokes and reminding us of the fragility of our mortality.
CD Reviews:
'a deeply felt account of a masterpiece from a conductor who has lived with this music for most of his professional life'
Sunday Times
'this performance beneifts from marvellous sound and shows Davis secure in his tempo choices and bringing that combination of solemnity, grandeur and drama ... Soprano Marie Arnet's pristine tone and flawless intonation make her near ideal'
