"Lawrence Foster chooses convincing tempi and relishes the intermittent opportunities for drama in the Sequence...The chorus, topped by a youthful, unwobbly soprano line, sing with fresh, well-knit tone; and the solo quartet, with little to challenge them, bledn agreeably"
(Gramophone)
The Salieri Requiem is a forgotten work which Salieri composed for his own funeral ceremony 20 years before he actually died. This is a world premiere recording. Beethoven and Schubert were students of Salieri and were present at his funeral where the Requiem was first performed.
