Artist: Christiane Libor (Soprano), Ewa Wolak (Alto), Daniel Kirch (Tenor), Janusz Monarcha (Bass), Warsaw Philharmonic Orchestra and Choir

Description:

Antonín Dvořák's great popularity in England was built on Stabat Mater, which was conducted in 1884 and 1885. It was well suited to the country's choral traditions and led to the commission for a Requiem, which was premièred in Birmingham in 1891. Written in ten months during tours to Russia, England and Germany, its success was immediate. Sitting closer to the tradition of Cherubini than Verdi, its tone is compassionate and reflective, devoid of unnecessary drama, and movingly crafted with great sophistication.

Recorded: Warsaw Philharmonic Hall, Warsaw, Poland, from 29th May to 5th June, 2012.
