This CD focuses on Pierre de la Rue and his requiem “Missa pro fidelibus defunctis”. The whole programme deals with the finite nature of human beings and the ensemble creates a mood of contemplation, contrasting the requiem with music of our age. Sting’s “Fragile” is just as much a part of this as music by Kurt Weill and Einojuhani Rautavaara. Gospel songs are also included. | | | (also available to download from $10.50) | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

“…it’s impressive stuff. Heifetz's playing exudes beauty of tone, a striking range of light and shade, depths of emotion, and dazzling virtuosity. There's timeless artistry here, and the astonishing immediacy of the transfers, for which DG have added "discreet stereo ambience", makes nonsense of the age of the recordings.” Gramophone Magazine, November 2006 | | | Usually despatched in 8 - 10 working days. |
