I am so-so on the Requiem, but, were I to pick the music for my own funeral (I am such a jolly sort), Cantique de Jean Racine would be on the program.
I got this CD because of the Cantique, and it has become my go-to recording of that; but the Requiem is also exceptional, and perhaps the best-recorded version I have heard.
BTW, I was a boy soprano; I sang the Requiem (but not the solo) circa 1967.
ATB,
John
