Stabat Mater / Requiem

On the final instalment of its Requiem series, the Flemish Radio Choir tackles Poulenc's iconic Stabat Mater (1950) and Alfred Desenclos' Requiem (1963), stunning works which steer clear of the typical Requiem horrors to convey a message of hope. Teaming up with the Brussels Philharmonic, the Flemish Radio Choir and its acclaimed chef Hervé Niquet extract the emotional and rhetorical essence of music which is eminently French, unusually tender, and delicately majestic.
