Description:
The 500 years that separate Renaissance master Johannes Ockeghem (c. 1410-97) and Danish composer Bent Serensen (b. 1958) seem to disappear in this extraordinary Requiem which is a totality integrated both dramatically and musically; a work that unites the stylistic contrasts in a mode of expression that seems at once timeless and entirely present. The project has been initiated by conductor Paul Hillier and interpreted by his GRAMMY-winning ensemble Ars Nova Copenhagen. "Everything Paul Hillier touches turns into choral gold" - New York Times.
"Requiem" in the SACD+CD format by Hillier and Ars Nova Copenhagen, released by Dacapo, is a profound musical journey through the timeless tradition of choral requiems. This recording showcases the ensemble?s exceptional clarity and emotional depth under Paul Hillier's direction, blending ancient polyphony with contemporary sensibilities. The dual-format release ensures audiophiles can enjoy both high-resolution surround sound and standard CD playback. Dacapo Records is renowned for its dedication to Danish classical music, consistently producing award-winning recordings that highlight both established masters and innovative new voices from Denmark?s vibrant music scene. Paul Hillier is an internationally acclaimed conductor known for his interpretations of early and modern vocal music; as founder of Ars Nova Copenhagen, he has led them to global recognition with numerous prestigious awards.
