Fauré: Requiem & Other Sacred Music Rutter, Cambridge Singers, City Of London Sinfonia, Aston, Varcoe, Scott, Standage

Here is John Rutter’s Gramophone Award-winning 1984 recording of Fauré’s Requiem. The first-ever performance on disc of the work in its intimate original version—famously re-discovered by Rutter in the Bibliothèque Nationale in Paris after a century of neglect—it remains one of the timeless jewels in the crown of the Collegium catologue. Hailed on release as ‘the Fauré Requiem of the future’ - Music Week (Collegium)
