Released to coincide with his third season as Music Director of the Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin, Robin Ticciati has forged a close and highly successful partnership with his orchestra.
• This, his fourth recording with DSO Berlin, continues his series of music by French composers (Debussy, Faure, Ravel, Duparc) with a significant move into choral music: the Durufle Requiem.
• Ticciati is joined by mezzo-soprano Magdalena Kozena, who has performed Debussy’s Ariettes oubliees and Duparc songs on previous DSO recordings, and the Grammy award-winning Rundfunkchor Berlin.
• Written in response to Faure’s own Requiem and with Debussy’s influence paramount, Durufle created one of the most significant sacred works of the twentieth century.
• Ticciati describes this masterpiece as “a balm for the soul, a score filled with tremendous hope and peaceful searching”.
• Most typically recorded with organ accompaniment, Ticciati has chosen to record Durufle’s own orchestrated version which allows the conductor to create a unique blend of choral and orchestral colours recalling the sound-world of Debussy and the Impressionists.
• Fittingly the programme also includes Debussy’s Nocturnes, a welcome addition following the critically-acclaimed reception of Ticciati’s recording of La mer.
