‘sir colin davis conducts the requiem with a judicious mix of fire and meditative calm’ gramophone ‘a strong set of soloists … every note fills me with affection and wonder, and that’s rare … his performance really feels like a live one as if we’re hearing this glorious score straight out of the crucible in which it was forged … from the domine jesu christe onwards everyone seems gripped by the unfolding drama, prompting them to give of their individual and collective best … there’s a tension in the orchestra – a sense of approaching finality … that dark, tolling figure in the lux aeterna is unforgettable, the soloists singing with a liberating loveliness that’s equally memorable … dies irae is another case in point … sir colin’s performance is in another league entirely’ musicweb disc 1 4539 1'.
