(3 out of 5 stars)

"This recording did not live up to my high expectations. I was particularly moved by a live performance of Faure's Masques et Bergamasques and was seeking a good recording. It seems this orchestra is lacking precision with entrances and attacks and I feel this Gavotte particularly benefits from a certain rigidity in tempo that is absent in this performance. In addition, I feel this recording of the Requiem is particularly poor because the fine vocalists seem to be fighting each other rather than working as a single instrument. All in all, a decent effort, but there are many other far superior recordings. For a fine recording of the Masques et Bergamasques, follow the link below.
