So much has happened in the world these past 8 years and still I return to Faure and truly appreciate this exquisite performance by the Sinfonia Rotterdam. Laurenschatorij lead by Conrad van Alphen...heaven made and heaven sent. Merci merci mille fois.

To my opinion, Fauré wrote the most beautiful Requiem. The most peaceful, the most confident, the less thunderous (Verdi, Berlioz, Brahms ...) The sanctus envelops the listener, the believer, the afflicted one, in the veils of hope in a future life. No revolt, only peace. Despite Fauré was agnostic ...

I think God has a special place in his heart for those who genuinely struggle - for agnostics of every shade- genuine seekers after the truth!

Magnifique , ... le Requiem de Faure offre un moment d'immortalite a ses auditeurs ... So gracious.

Faure Requiem is pure genius. Such a beautiful performance by all. I fell in love with the Requiem a number of years ago when I had the honor to sing it as a member of my church's choir. It is my favorite piece.

I have sung this many times and this is a beautiful version. Thank you so much.

Mi querida madre falleció hace un año .. Pongo este Réquiem en casa en su honor , y sé que ese momento está rodeada de ángeles…. ✨🌻

So beautiful! The choir's overall volume and harmony is absolute!

Bravo! Superb performance by all! Special thanks to the conductor, and such a great video with close ups of all the wonderful singers! A highlight of Western Civilization!!

Wonderful!! Thank you for making this a requiem rather than like some recordings I've heard that do their best to blow off the doors of the hall. This is soft, quiet, peaceful - as such a work should be. I'll be 80 next year. Oh to have something like this peformed at my passing . . .

Éternellement Faure, perpétuel chant de Gabriel....Magnifique interprétation, un grand merci à Tous...

Dis absolut meesterlik gedooen . Dankie of soos hoollanders se Dank je well.

This is an extraordinary piece. I remember listening to it many time, wheter during educational in music schools in Poland, being part of boy's choir or in other concerts. It contains everything and at the same time is very original, simple, surprising and before all - very M O D E R N I S T I C and has got some secrets inside, that could not be explained to me. I'm always deeply moved listening to this.

Simply marvelous. There are a lot of great Requiems, but this has always been my favorite, and the Agnus Dei in particular is one of the most beautiful ever written. Maestro van Alphen really respected Fauré's tempo markings, and just beautiful performances by soloists, chorus and orchestra. So glad I found this!

You are correct...after 40 years of experience with this work, absolute best performance.

I first sang this when I was a student at Princeton Theological Seminary under the direction of David Weadon in 1994. I thought I’d died and gone to heaven. It never fails to give me this feeling. It is the most perfect requiem I’ve ever encountered, and I’ve sung a few.

Toujours beaucoup d émotion à l écoute de ce magnifique requiem superbe interprétation merci

I agree, great, beautiful performance

Merveilleuse soliste qui nous offre un "Pie Jesus" d'une pureté absolument admirable et qui m'a bouleversé. Merci, Madame. Votre voix magnifique a servi l'oeuvre comme je ne l'avais jamais entendue. L'ensemble de cette interprétation de l'oeuvre de Gabriel Fauré est d'un niveau exceptionnel que je rapproche de celle de l'ensemble orchestral de Paris et de l'ensemble choral Accentus que je considère toujours comme l'interprétation de référence. Mais dans laquelle je n'avais pas été séduit par la participation de la soliste, surtout dans le "Pie Jésus".

Magnifique! Great performance, thank you!

@ Sergio Contreras: "Excellent Choir's?" There was only one Chorus and that was Laurenscantorij Rotterdam. They are superb. They sing with perfect intonation and extremely clear diction. I suspect the women on stage -- both Orchestra and Chorus -- who don't think of themselves as beautiful will feel slighted by your comment. As well the men who are considered handsome. I looked at all of them, both women and men since they were all equally part of producing such a stellar performance. And Conrad van Alphen looked like he would be a pleasure to work with. The camera crew also did an excellent job.

One of the best performances ever Gabriel Faure Requim Mass for the dead The soprano soloist is magnificent and beautiful The Rottersam Sinfonia is magnificent. Our Lord Jesus Christ is always with us and always will be there for you and ❤

Catholics, all over the world, including of course those living in the Neetherlands, are confident that this excellent concert, this wonderfull Requiem Mass is the sincere expression of true spirituality in the face of human death and consequently the most strong and vivid repulse of the laws of euthanasia in the Neetherlands. Spain is suffering now the most unspeakable pain along the course of the current pandemia, while silent deputies, are writting in the shadow and silently the new euthanasia disgraceful law, absolutely and frontally opposite to the natural law.

@ Luis profBove: Except this is not a liturgical or spiritual performance. There is no procession, no processional crosses, no acolytes, no incense, no priests, no Gospel reading, no Homily, no Communion, no High Altar or any of that. This is a superbly outstanding -- both Orchestra and Chorus -- secular concert hall performance. Some people seem to confuse the two just because the text of the piece is sacred or from the Requiem Mass setting. When I was in major Orchestra Choruses with performances in major concert halls, it didn't matter what Requiem Mass or oratorio we were performing, there was nothing sacred or at all spiritual about the performance, other than the text. None of the choristers blessed themselves before processing onto the stage because it was not a religious or even remotely spiritual occasion. And the audience knew that and applauded our secular performance, often with a standing ovation. Applause is inappropriate for a liturgical performance. You seem to be implying this is a liturgical performance and about spirituality. It is not. And it's not just (Roman or French) Catholics who use the Requiem Mass setting, Anglicans and Lutherans do as well.

I guess "natural law" means whatever suits you. Wouldn't be more "natural" living from what you hunt, renounce modern medicine and comforts and die (if you are lucky) in your forties? Euthanasia is not more unnatural than prolonging life when you are demented or seriously ill.

Fauré's music must be decoupled from any religious meaning because Fauré was agnostic. But despite everything, he signed there the most profoundly serene, the most completely confident in the face of death and finally, the most Christian of requiems.

Excellente version ! la meilleure sur youtube à mon avis ....

Celui qui a composé cela est un génie, et celles et ceux qui lisent et transmettent sa partition sont ses géniaux messagers. C'est une merveille absolue à voir et entendre 💘

¡Bellísimo! Cuanto más lo escucho más me gusta...

The tenor is absolutely beautiful and magnificent.

How beautifully and sensitively each member performs this wonderful Requiem by Faure. Of course, the brilliant Director brings this sensitivity out in the performers.

Very very goed performance 👌 (and to the audience: please stop coughing)

Moving with such feeling!

Thank you for a beautiful performance. I chose this choir performance to practice with for an upcoming concert. ❤️

A very impressive performance indeed! In my view, this is the go-to version on youtube at the moment (January 2021). Not only the performers are excellent, but also the acoustic and video engineering. (Yes, I could be picky about the soloists). It´s a pity that in late September, there are so many coughs and splutters from the audience.

Gorgeous

G E W E L D I G!!! Een sublieme uitvoering. Ik heb thuis een uitvoering van een Frans orkest met Dieter Fischer Dieskau en Victoria de los Ángeles. Deze uitvoering is op dezelfde niveau.

MARAVILLOSA MUSICA

excellent

The Requiem of Faure is very dear to my heart. The others I do particularly like is Verdi and Mozart. This does not mean I don't like the others Requiems. It is all a matter of choice. Having said that this orchestra, choir and conductor are excellent particularly since most of the Choir are so young and they all have such a glorious voice. Excellent performance!

When I listen to this masterpiece, I think All of everything in this transient world except Jesus and Maria is a remnant of Jesus’ profound Dreams

Wundervoll!!!

Yes, I agree with other comments, ruined only by too much audience noise/coughing. Clicking and clacking sounds. Overall, the tempo was spot on, orchestra & conductor gave a great performance. I thought the soloists got it spot on. Still the best Reqium in my opinion.

This is the best version of In Paradisium I've heard. The organ is aptly subdue. Wonderful dynamics.
