Stephen Layton - Durufle: Requiem: Poulenc: Lenten Motets (CD)

Details: One of the twentieth century's best-loved choral works, Duruflé's Requiem-a magical synthesis of the old (plainsong) and the new (a harmonic language appropriate to it's time and place) - continues to cast it's potent spell over performers and listeners alike. This new recording from Stephen Layton and his Trinity forces fully deserves to be regarded as 'definitive'.
