Dvorák: Requiem

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Antonín Dvoáks huge popularity in England was built largely on the success of his Stabat Mater, which he had conducted there in 1884 and 1885. It was well suited to the countrys choral traditions and led eventually to a commission for a Requiem, which was premièred in Birmingham in 1891. Written in ten months during tours to Russia, England and Germany, its success was immediate. Sitting closer to the tradition of Cherubini than Verdi, its tone is compassionate and reflective, devoid of unnecessary drama, and movingly crafted with great sophistication.

REVIEW
Dvorak's Requiem seems to be making a comeback, with new recordings by Jarvi, Jansons, and best of all, this one by Antoni Wit, featuring the excellent Warsaw Philharmonic Orchestra and Choir and four first-class soloists.Hitherto there have been two great recordings: Ancerl's on Supraphon, and Kertesz's on Decca. This one effortlessly joins them. Wit just may be the best conductor around these days for big choral works such as this.First class engineering makes this a wonderfully satisfying release that hopefully will win many new friends for this powerfully expressive and masterful work. --David Hurwitz, classicstoday.com
