Harmonia Mundi: HMC901251

Campra: Messe de Requiem

As we have come to expect from the excellent vocal groups directed by Philippe Herreweghe, La Chapelle Royale provides a luminous and vital realization of the choral sound-picture appropriate to this repertory... The excellent diction and declamation of Stephen Varcoe, as well as the sheer beauty and sensitivity of his voice, could hardly be bettered in the basse-taille (or baritone) solos.

Press comments:

"This release is not to be missed as a valuable addition to available French Baroque recordings, and an ‘ear-opener’ for those who want to explore this neglected repertory." Early Music

"Herreweghe boasts a splendid group of soloists...buy the Herreweghe version for the exquisite conception and sound..." Fanfare

"...much of the music is powerfully emotional. The spirit of Charpentier is behind much, and the passages offering hope and salvation are set to music of lilting melodiousness. All of which is marvellously put over by Herreweghe and his forces – as splendidly musical as ever. They manage to strike the right attitude unfailingly, and they are serviced by a recording of the highest standard. If Campra is unknown to you, this is the one to start with."
