I have four different versions of that work and I really like it. Coincidentally I had planned to re-listen to them soon so if you are interested I will review my versions over the next week or so for you and you can see how you get on from there if you wish.
Thanks for that offer Fergus which I would like to take you up on. By the way I was taken with what what I understand is your synchronised (aprox.) listening of sacred music with the ecclesiastic calendar. Like most good ideas stunningly simple but an interesting project for the relative outsider to both! I hope to begin to follow in a small way

Fergus has been trying to school me in this very sensible approach but alas I'm a most indisciplined pupil.
anyway, if you have any questions whatsoever on yourf journey toward a greater understanding and love of classical musaic, you'll find a wealth of knowledge and enthusiasm in this forum... (me? I just try and help out on the enthusiasm front)

That is fine; I will dig them out and start the mini project in a day or so. It is comforting to know that I will have an audience of at least one!!!dhyantyke wrote: Thanks for that offer Fergus which I would like to take you up on.

I just find it a bit more interesting and relevant if one does this; it just adds a little extra dimension I feel. About two years or so ago I played all of JS Bach's music on every relevant day of the lithurgical year. I think that I bored the pants off every member but I just love that music.

I really like the piece and am considering making a modestly priced additional purchase...any help gratefully received :-)
My versions of Faure's Requiem consist of (in alphabetical order):
Cluytens: Orch. Soc. Des Concerts du Conserv./de los Angeles/Fischer-Dieskau [EMI]
Davis: Philharmonia Orchestra/Ambrosian Singers+Lucia Popp [Sony]
Gardiner: Orchestre Revolutionnaire+Bott/Cachemaille [Philips]
Rutter: City of London Sinfonia+Ashton/Varcoe [Collegium]
Summerly: Schola Cantorum+Beckley/Gedge [Naxos]
I do intend to get that Hereweghe version at some stage as well.
