Faure: Requiem Op 48 / Cantique de Jean Racine, Op. 11 (with Pierre Villette & Roger-Ducasse - Motets)

"This recording gives us what can be described as the 'original' version, in that it uses a small orchestra and all-male chorus as in its first performance. Hill takes an approach which cleverly combines austerity with expressive flexibility; the very opening illustrates, too, what a very wide dynamic range he is able to command, and this remains a feature throughout. Nancy Argenta and Simon Keenlyside are ideal soloists for this approach, and both sing impeccably." MusicWeb
