Streamed ECO Concert with VOCES8 - 2nd April 2021 7.00pm as part of the Live from London Spring Festival 

"Everything I managed to entertain by way of religious illusion I put into my Requiem, which moreover is dominated from beginning to end by a very human feeling of faith in eternal rest.”

Fauré
composed his much loved mass setting between 1887-1890, and saw this work as much for the living as for the remembrance of the dead. Removing the dread terror of the Dies irae, using instead its final couplet Pie Jesu, set as a tender number for solo soprano, he created a work of divine beauty and sublime tranquility, one of "happy deliverance, an aspiration towards happiness above, rather than […] painful experience.”

We are joined once again by our good friends, the world-renowned vocal octet VOCES8, and their artistic director Barnaby Smith to conduct a performance that also includes Fauré Cantique de Jean Racine and Bach Cantata BWV 118 O Jesu Christ, meins Lebens Licht; an evening of divine beauty and tranquility in the heart of Eastertide.

"Details that so often get lost shone; in a time of closing down and fear, this was a performance of bright hope." -                                                                                                                 [Review of Messiah, Dec 2020] Seen and Heard International
