65 lossless recordings of Fauré Requiem. Flac/Ape in separate tracks, scans, score. Added broadcast BBC Record Review about the work, and an endearing video from BBC (1983) in which we can see Sergiu Celibidache rehearsing for three days at the Henry Woodhall for the concert with the London Symphony Orchestra and Chorus. We are witnesses of the incessant work of intonation, balance, dynamic gradation and exquisite attention to the text. During the breaks, the Romanian maestro explains his particular philosophy of musical performance and the impossibility to domestic reproduction. Enjoy!
