Title: Nice easy listening
Review: For people who are looking for nice easy listening, this is a CD that can be added to their collection. However, for those looking for a serious musical exploration of the themes of life and death, Rutter's Requiem falls far short of the standard set by previous composers. For the most part the music is too saccharine, inundated with cliches that remind the listener of Hollywood movie soundtracks. The Sanctus even sounds somewhat like Christmas music.In terms of the performance, the orchestra and choir do a very good job, and I applaud the choice of soloists -- very effective singing.
