Reviews

Soft, consolatory, warmly glowing: that's the atmosphere created by Gabriel Jackson in the opening movement of his Requiem. 'Radiantly optimistic' is Jackson's own way of describing the work, reflecting a belief that death is 'the gateway to a better world

Jackson's setting is deeply affecting, notable for vocal effects that acknowledge, without a trace of artifice, the origin of the words. Humour rarely surfaces in Requiem settings, but Jackson's music often surprises, and his treatment of an elliptical Japanese poem will surely provoke a smile . . . Jackson's Requiem is a masterpiece in my view, and the performance from the Vasari Singers and Jeremy Backhouse is beyond praise
