Title: Good recording - not great.
Product review: The recording of the Requiem on this CD leaves much to be desired. The choir is quite good but the organ accompaniment is overpowering. The poorly balanced bass drones ruin the Requiem's last movement - one of the most serene musical moments of 20th century. I think the orchestral accompaniment is much nicer. As for the other pieces, I would say they are well done. Ubi Caritas is nice but I wish that more of the other vocal parts would come out more with the alto melody. The tenor harmony part is beautiful-if you can hear it. Overall, the CD is a good introductory recording for Maurice Durufle's choral works.
