New. Fauré: Requiem
Pierre-Olivier Schmitt, Jean-Gabriel Saint-Martin, Isaure Brunner, Chœur de l'Opéra Royal, Orchestre de l'Opéra Royal, Victor Jacob

Matthias Goerne (baritone) & Philippe Jaroussky (countertenor), Eric Picard (cello)
Choeur de l'Orchestre de Paris, Paavo Jarvi

Philippe Estèphe (soloist), Emőke Baráth (soloist), Chouchane Siranossian, François Saint-Yves, Le Concert Spirituel, Hervé Niquet

[The arrangement[ works extremely well, with the two strings bringing out the subsidiary lines that were always a feature of [Faure’s] writing. The singing is splendid. The baritone soloist... —
