Requiem

Album by Gabriel Fauré & Orchestre philharmonique de Paris & René Leibowitz

Requiem in D minor, Op. 48 is a choral-orchestral composition by French composer Gabriel Fauré, completed in 1890. The work is characterised by its restrained, consolatory tone, lyrical vocal writing and subtle orchestration that blend liturgical tradition with late-Romantic harmonic language, and it occupies a central place in Fauré's output as his principal large-scale sacred composition.
