In an exciting collaboration, Oxford’s Christ Church Cathedral Choir, one of the world's oldest and best-known cathedral choirs, joins forces with soloists from The Sixteen and Oxford Baroque on this recording featuring Francesco Durante’s Requiem Mass. Despite its enduring popularity in the 18th century, the beautiful and majestic work was never published but survives through over 50 manuscript copies scattered across Europe. It is a remarkable composition which can justly be described as one of the most important orchestral Requiem settings of the 18th century. This is the world premiere of conductor Stephen Darlington’s original edition of the piece which shows Durante to be a composer of considerable skill and invention, who combined his mastery of counterpoint with an elegance of melody, a richness of harmony and an imaginative instinct for structure. The programme also highlights Durante’s exquisite Organ Concerto, a rare example of an Italian keyboard concerto of the period, performed here by celebrated organist Clive Driskill-Smith.
