"This is a thoughtful and attractive version of the Requiem, S++ssmayr version. Nigel Short paces it well. I particularly liked the steady opening and the broad, firmly built first section, notable, too, for its clear textures (the timpani have a nicely "thwacky", 18th-century sound); and this is well balanced with the lively Kyrie, with its strongly rhythmic singing..." --Stanley Sadie, Gramophone Recorded live at St John"s, Smith Square, London, in April, 2003
