Title: Olsson-Requiem--discover a masterwork
Review: An unknown composer and an unknown work--what a surprise ! These Swedish forces show that they believe in this work and want to present it as the masterpiece they believe it to be. everyone is utterly convincing. The scale of the Requiem reminds me of Verdi's but without the clear connections that Verdi has to opera and Gregorian chant. A French influence can be felt--but make no mistake--this is not a derivative work. It is absolutely beautiful and moving. What an exciting discovery !
