Fauré, un Requiem
Fauré's "Requiem" is one of the most popular classical works in France. Like a restored icon, the power of this authentic, sacred music reveals living, contemporary images. Weightless images for an ethereal music that accompanies the sensitive performance by Philippe Herreweghe and the Orchestra of the Champs-Elysées in a Romanesque church. The original scores found at the Madeleine are decoded by Jean-Michel Nectoux, the leading Fauré specialist, while the rehearsals of the orchestra and chorus demonstrate the precision necessary to attain the natural beauty of a requiem, so different from others.
