Nice combination of Bach and Fauré on 24/48 download from Society of Sound.
Very Dynamic especially on the Kyrie from the Requiem. Lovely recording - totally enjoyable.

3 LP vinyl box set....

I have in my collection an old radio broadcast of the above work which I recorded a number of years ago so I am somewhat familiar with the work. However I wanted to have a "real" copy of it so when I went researching which one to buy this Barenboim version kept reappearing as the one that was top of the pile. When I saw a vinyl version going for reasonable money I jumped at it. The performances are excellent and the whole work is imbued with great music making from vocalists and instrumentalists.

Well, I might not die without him but life would definitely take a turn for the worse.
