Duruflé/Poulenc - Requiem & Motets

Recorded 31 July 2021 (Poulenc) and 15-20 July 2022 (Duruflé). Released March 2024.

Remastered for its Hyperion release from the Choir’s > filmed performance at the Église Saint-Eustache, this recording of Duruflé’s enduringly-popular Requiem is paired with a first release of recordings made in Trinity College Chapel of Francis Poulenc’s Lenten Motets. Written just a decade before, from a world poised on the brink of the Second World War, these short works burn with outsize spiritual drama.
