Carl Rutti: Requiem. A Naxos disc. Here is a modern piece of choral music that will certainly stick in the repertoire. It starts and ends with a single soprano voice, we enter life and we leave....alone. I can't imagine this piece to be better performed. Premiered in 2007 the commission stipulated scoring as for the Faure Requiem with the Soprano and Baritone soloists, accessable, but significant.

Sounds most interesting. Must look out for this.

You probably don't have the Dorati... Other recordings show a singular misunderstanding of the work; it hasn't been that successful in performance or recordings but it's one of M's top few greatest achievements, totally otherworldly and weird inspiration.
This is good to know. Thanks!
Beethoven's Op. 133 -- A fugue so bad that even Beethoven himself called it "Grosse".

I had the Dorati in LP days then bought it on CD too. Matchless instrumental soloists including Loriod and Janos Starker, both in totally manic moods.
