Compared to other 19th century Requiems, like those by Berlioz and Verdi where the terrors of a Last Judgement are vividly apparent, Fauré’s vision was of solace and hope beyond the grave, which he viewed as ‘a happy deliverance, an aspiration towards happiness above.’ A much-loved work of British choirs and audiences, its glories include the Sanctus, with its violin solo offering celestial balm; the tender beauty of the soprano solo’s Pie Jesu; and the rippling accompaniment of In Paradisum, sublimely evoking a sense of heavenly peace.
