Thank you :) www.patreon.com/cmrr // en.tipeee.com/cmrr It is easy to discern a grandiose sense of architecture, as well as a progression from darkness to light, in Fauré's celebrated Requiem - especially with Ansermet's respectfully slow tempi - but in fact the piece was not initially conceived as a complete work. It came together somewhat fortuitously from a collection of separate settings dating from the time of Fauré's incumbency as choirmaster at the church of the Madeleine in Paris. In 1888 four movements were performed at the Madeleine for the requiem of 'some parishioner or other' (as Fauré put it). These were the Introit and Kyrie, Sanctus, Agnus Dei, and In paradisum. The Pie Jesu also dates from this time. Contrary to the imaginative view offered by many commentators, the work had nothing to do either with the death of Fauré's father in 1885 nor that of his mother in 1888. 'My Requiem was written for nothing’, the composer confided to Maurice Emmanuel, 'it was written, if I may say so, for fun.' With Louis Aguettant, in 1902, he shared a few more thoughts on the matter: people said my Requiem did not express the terror of death, someone called it death's cradle-song. But that is how I view death: as a happy deliverance, a yearning for the happiness of the beyond, rather than as a distressing passing on'. It was in 1900 that Fauré inflated the smaller liturgical orchestration of the work into the 'concert-hall' version now normally heard. Even so, the prominence of the organ part was retained, and the strings were restricted to violas, cellos and basses except in the Sanctus and In paradisum. Also retained is the important and prominent harp part, particularly in the Sanctus and In paradisum. In fact the use of the harp, particularly in requiems, was something of a French tradition: Saint-Saëns and Franck had both written liturgical pieces with rippling harp parts (a style known as the style St-Sulpicien) and the latter composer had also written a rousing solo somewhat in the style of Fauré's Libera me in his Mass in A, also cobbled together from a set of several occasional settings of movements from the Mass and elsewhere.

We publish again this legendary performance because we deleted the old post. There were some problems on the transfer that we corrected. Everything is also in order on the different listening platforms (Qobuz, Apple, Amazon, Spotify....). Enjoy :)

Zweifellos die beste Interpretation dieses kompakten doch perfekt komponierten Requiems im 20. Jahrhundert! Die durchsichtige Stimme der genialen Sopranistin klingt fast himmlisch. Die verbesserte Tonqualität ist auch ziemlich hoch als eine Originalaufnahme von achtundsechzig Jahren vor. Danke fürs wertvolle Onlinestellen!

Ansermet pairs here with Cluytens's own interpretation in its slow tempi and soothing unfolding...🙏🙏🙏

Right, it's hard to do it faster without altering the dimension of feelings of peace and serenity

You should try Celibidache’s interpretation. This is a bit faster compared to his, Celibidache’s feels the most solemn to my ear

Listening right now on Apple Classical in high-res. Is it true that this recording dates from 1955?! It sounds like it was recorded 10 years into the future with vastly superior technology. This is astonishing! I'd love to know more about the remaster. This is like the Criterion remastering of the audio world.

En fait, l'orchestration de la version "1900" ne serait pas de Fauré, mais de Jean-Roger Ducasse.
