Summary
Edward Gardner conducts the London Philharmonic Orchestra, soprano Louise Alder and baritone Gerald Finley in a programme featuring Fauré, Vaughan Williams and a new work by Judith Weir.
Why it's fantastic
Rather than a heavy-handed funeral mass, this masterpiece offers a gentle, luminous vision of peace that feels more like a musical embrace. It is the perfect entry point for those who find traditional choral works daunting, especially with two world-renowned soloists bringing clarity to its most famous, soaring melodies.
