Thirteen years after his memorable recording of the first version of the Faure Requiem – an intimate version first performed by the composer in 1892, at Saint-Gervais in Paris – Philippe Herreweghe here conducts the 1901 version for full orchestra commissioned by Faure’s publisher for performance in large concert halls.
Faure said of this masterpiece: “My Requiem was composed for nothing... for pleasure, if I may say so!”
