concert “A la française" by Various, qui 12 mar 2015, De (2015/2015), Regente Donald Runnicles, Berliner Philharmonie, Berlim, Alemanha

Maurice Duruflé’s Requiem – conducted here by Donald Runnicles – is among those sacred works that convey a notion of a better world beyond. Echoes of Gregorian chant are mixed with scintillating Impressionist colours to create a magical and ethereal whole. The remaining programme consisting of works by Claude Debussy and Olivier Messiaen is also French and transcendental.
