♥♥♥♥♥ Wonderful
This is a splendid DVD, spiritual rather than dramatic, deep rather than spectacular, always musical, very moving. In concert halls, there's often a tendency to emphasise the drama in this work. Trumpets on all sides, and all that. Well, they are on all sides here too, but tempos tend to the gentle, the chorus sings with care and passion, and phrasing is always loyal to the text. The tenor Keith Lewis is excellent.

The sound engineeers have dealt with cathedral reverberation by softening the sound somewhat, so the experience is not quite as crisp as hearing the Requiem in the Festival Hall. But reverence does not soften the Dies irae and Tuba mirum, which are appropriately engulfing.

Not quite as good as being there, of course, but I cannot imagine a closer recorded approximation.
