The meticulous counterpoint and magnificent chorus elevate the tribute to the dead to artistic heights.
Johann Joseph Fuchs's "Requiem" has a dignified sound that evokes the traditions of the Habsburg court. The careful performance by the period instrument ensemble vividly portrays the delicate textures characteristic of the Baroque period. The sublime sound that emerges from the restrained sadness quietly appeals to the listener's soul.
