"A highly recommendable version with dedicated contributions from both soloists and the full, warmly atmospheric recording sounds very beautiful." (*** Three Stars Penguin Guide)
"André Cluytens was one of the acknowledged master French conductors of the middle years of the 20th century, and his 1963 recording of Debussy's Images and his 1962 recording of Fauré's Requiem were justly hailed in their time as great performances. With the excellent Orchestre de la Société des Concerts du Conservatoire in both pieces, and the superb soprano Victoria de los Angeles and superlative baritone Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau in the Requiem, Cluytens turns in sensitive accounts."
