Vinyl-Wiederveröffentlichung einer der besten Arbeiten des französischen Komponisten: REQUIEM ist eine intensiv-dramatische Tour de Force mit viel vokalem Material (meist auf griechisch oder lateinisch), aufgenommen im März 1973 in den GRM-Studios in Paris. Schöne Edition im Klappcover.
" Reissue of this mythic '70's release. The sacred connotations of a requiem were obviously an important basis for the choice of the text. Great power and strong emotions are suggested by the Latin text and lend themselves readily to an electroacoustic composition incorporating human utterance. Whether the composition is heard as a sacred work or not depends very much on the ear of the listener. I chose to follow the thought process of Chion where the 'intention was not to deliver a message or a manifesto whether pro- or anti-religious. Rather, the piece is a personal testimony, in which I invite the listener to project himself, if he should like to dwell in this music of his experience and sensibility.' [Paul Dibley]
