Durufle

Immerse yourself in the profound and serene choral masterpiece of Maurice Duruflé with his renowned "Requiem, op. 9" and "Four Motets, op. 10." This album, released on January 1, 1992, under Summit Records, is a timeless collection of sacred choral works that showcase Duruflé's unique blend of Gregorian chant influences and lush, romantic harmonies. The "Requiem" is a deeply moving and contemplative setting of the traditional Latin Mass for the Dead, featuring nine movements that range from the somber "Introit" to the ethereal "In Paradisum." Complementing the "Requiem" are the "Four Motets," a set of shorter, equally captivating choral pieces that include the tender "Ubi caritas" and the majestic "Tantum ergo." With a total duration of 46 minutes, this album is a testament to Duruflé's exceptional compositional skill and his ability to evoke a sense of tranquility and reverence. Whether you're a seasoned classical music enthusiast or a newcomer to the genre, this album offers a rich and rewarding listening experience that highlights the enduring beauty of choral music.
