Marc Eychenne - Requiem

Review by phDassistance higs

Requiem, the album by French composer Marc Eychenne, is a stunning tribute to the traditional Requiem Mass. The album features the Choeur Regional Vittoria d'Ile de France and the Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France, conducted by Michel Piquemal.

The album comprises nine movements, each representing a different element of the Requiem Mass. From the opening movement, "Introit", to the final "In Paradisum", Eychenne's music takes the listener on a journey of emotions, from sorrow to hopefulness.

Eychenne's music is beautifully crafted, with intricate melodies and complex harmonies. The choirs and orchestra work together seamlessly, creating a rich and powerful sound that fills the listener with awe.

The standout movement on the album is "Dies Irae", which is both haunting and exhilarating. The choir's thunderous chanting and the orchestra's frenzied playing create a sense of impending doom, but also of triumph over death.

Requiem is a masterful work of art that showcases Eychenne's talent for composing choral music. It is a must-listen for anyone who appreciates classical music or wants to experience the beauty of the Requiem Mass.
