 | Fauré/Duruflé: Requiems
Buy new: £12.99 / Used from: £8.49 Both incedibly moving. Durufle's Requiem is probably the finest ever composed, and verges on the hypnotic. Stunning.
|
 | Tallis: Spem in Alium
Buy new: £7.98 / Used from: £4.18 Spem In Alium, a 500 year old 40 part motet, is an absolute masterpiece of astonishing achivement. Truly magical, completely mesmerized me. Astoundingly beautiful and moving.
|
 | Stravinsky: Symphony of Psalms
Buy used from: £8.68 I had trouble tracking this down but it was worth it. Stravinsky evokes pure magic and mystery using orthadox traditions and odd orchestration. A magnificent work.

 | The John Rutter Collection by John Rutter
Buy new: £11.98 / Used from: £12.10 I have accompanied most of these and this recording really does them justice. Moving and beautiful.
|
 | John Rutter: Requiem & Magnificat
Buy new: £7.98 / Used from: £9.26 An amazing recording of 2 different but equally matched pieces. Magnificat can be slightly cheesy, but Of a Rose more than makes up for it.
|
 | Tavener: Ikon of Light; Funeral Ikos; The Lamb
Buy used from: £24.23 The Lamb, although odd in places, is deceptively simple in theory but sounds stunning.
|
 | Verdi: Requiem
Buy new: £10.78 / Used from: £12.10 Cannot call myself a sacred vocal music fan without including this!
|
 | Mozart: Requiem & Exsultate, jubilate
Buy new: £5.98 / Used from: £3.25 Or this!
|
 | Bach: Mass in B minor
Buy new: £28.49 / Used from: £13.63 Can't deny he was a genius! A little havy at times, but still powerful.

Listmania!
