Durufle Requiem

Schola Cantorum

March 21, 2010

Add Review/Comment

Mesmerizing chant-inspired harmonies make this twentieth century Requiem a calming, meditative and engaging choral favorite. Stanford University Organist Dr. Robert Huw Morgan provides masterful interpretation of Duruflé’s organ-only accompaniment for a captivating performance, rounded out by familiar sacred choruses by Mendelssohn, Haydn, Rachmaninoff and Górecki, and sonorous organ repertoire by J.S. Bach.

    Schola Cantorum and its Music Director Gregory Wait are particularly at home singing in German, and especially when they are singing Brahms. This was particularly evident in Sunday's Beloved Brahms concert, which began on a lighter note with the Liebeslieder Waltzes and, following intermission, Ein Deutsches Requiem. Unlike many performances that feature a full orchestra, this one was accompanied by Schola's Assistant Conductor, Dawn Horst Reyen and Paul Zawilski on piano. This allowed the audience to experience the full range of Schola's considerable dynamic and artistic range. It also permitted the choir to sing more expressively than when singing over heavier instrumentation. This concert was an excellent demonstration of Schola doing what it does best. A very enjoyable autumn afternoon. Collapse
