Faure Requiem

Be swept away by the breathtaking, ponderous and extraordinarily beautiful soundscape of Gabriel Faure's original intimate "impressionistic" work. It is far removed from the most often performed version with a full orchestra. This is Faure's "Requiem" like nothing you have experienced before!

Beginning with one single heavy chord from Dr. Indra Hughes, voices enter with quiet mysticism with an air of reverence that breathes for you. Its richness of sound transports you on the wings of the choir and the organist weaving the magic.

Indra Hughes takes the voices into the charming setting of Haydn's "Salve Regina". The rich texture moving into a joyous dance before a slow and fast triumphant conclusion to the piece. And maybe, just maybe, you'll recover from Faure's Requiem to be able to drive home!
