Fauré Requiem Agnus Dei 

the requiem from Faure is one of the most beautiful music-works of all time

I sang this in college and it literally DID bring me to tears! Such a moving piece of music!

I'm singing all the Faure requiem parts in my choir in Bulgaria!! This music is soooo beautiful!!

la obra mas bonita de todas las que he cantado con el coro donde estoy desde el año 1998 junto al oratorio de noe fue una satisfascion enormey un honor para mi

i sang this for a school choir and i felt so calm and content whenever singing this.

the soprano lux at 2:02 sends shivers down my spine every time...and the harmonies afterwards are incredible.

For me the definitive requiem, more than alright, spectacularly beautiful and moving, agree nik, the soul soars.

i'm always on the verge of tears listening to this song. strong performance

Agata, thank you. Great connection.

excellent. The best version i`ve ever listened

Absolutely Beautiful. I remember singing that back in college and absolutely loved it then and love it now. Well done!

I sng this about sic years ago and I hope to sing it again , without crying. One of my favorites.

my sister performed this song at Carnegie hall in 2008..it was amazing

3:00 - 3:25 is one of the most glorious pieces of music in history, in my opinion.

Very nice...I love this CD. I love playing it a lot...

awkwardbarry... I absolutely agree with you. I'm doing this song with my choir and every time that part comes up I just can't help but tune out everything else and listen to just the instrunments. Once, one of my friends thought I was about to faint because I was so zoned in.

The middle part is... Exceptional.

2:46 onwards is amazing, and love the cadence at 3:07 and the forte that follows! ITS SOO emotional, I just love it, love the guy.. i want to meet him, amazing french late 1800s guy, i remember singing this with the school

Beautiful sublime stuff with so much spiritual quality, a requiem to rank alongside those of Mozart, Brahms, Verdi, Rutter. Merci for posting this, Agatamaz. sd goh (malaysia)

AMAZING!!! I absolutly love this part... I think it's the most beatufil song i've ever heard!

Christian Grey brought me here too!! .....I'm glad he did!! Beautiful!!

so close to paradise !

SUBLIME .

There are 4 great requiems in my book: Brahms, Mozart, Berlioz, Faure.

The tenors of Gardiner's Monteverdi Choir are the best in this moviment in my opinion

Thank you, this is PRECISELY how I feel about this piece. I wish to be married to Nat "King" Cole's "When I Fall In Love," and buried to the Fauré Requiem.

When I first hear the introduction, I thought the same thing. I play this on the organ once in a while at a slower pace.

at 2:09... i LOVE this part!!

Yeah, my first thought coming here was "Whoa, slow down!"

The three chords at 3:00... If you can make it through that without feeling something, you probable don't have a soul.

@Zanite No, but the Agnus Dei makes a little reprise of the first movement (around 3:27).

Agreed. Also 3:00-3:10 is the climax of the entire Requiem, and the tenors really have to let their line rip.

@napoleonkid5402 It depends on whether you are singing in the Franco-Latin, Italiacised-Latin or Anglicised-Latin. I personally change it depending on the composer and his/her intentions.

@Snbrdr2292 where and when?? I would love to experience it

Excllent!

Is the Requiem the middle section? I've not played it.

@coconut07011 wouldn't that be spanish pronouncation, not the original one?

Christian Grey brought me here. Beautiful but mournful.

What was the rush? Was the building on fire?

Una buena interpretación aunque las hay mejores como la muy antigua de Ansermet y la más reciente de Gardiner

too fast

What is my photo doing here???

just listen the King's college version...

What does that comment imply? That a woman cannot conduct Faure properly?

The group performing this ate a $100 steak like it was Taco Bell.

this interpretation can't test. the conductor is a tarl. it's a simple massacre of a masterpiece.

OMPG !!! Toooooooooooooooo fast !!!!! =O

its easy^^

C'est beau mais je préfère les voix d'enfants pour cette pièce. Allez écouter la "Maîtrise de Nîmes" pour cet "agnus dei" ou le "cantique de jean Racine". Un pouce vert !

Briliant music - far too fast!

Nope, that one goes to Mozart. This is alright though.
