Presentation
The choir of the Royal Opera of Versailles, conducted by Victor Jacob, will perform Fauré’s Requiem in the Royal Chapel.
Among the great sacred works that have become permanent fixtures in the repertoire, Fauré’s Requiem occupies a special place. In contrast to the vast, dramatic and dazzling masterpieces of Mozart, Berlioz, Brahms and Verdi, this score emphasises introspection and simplicity of expression, whilst exuding a profoundly French charm. Fauré makes no attempt to rival his illustrious predecessors in terms of power or scale; rather, he responds to the spiritual aspirations of his era, marked by a Parisian piety more attuned to the faithful and their sensibilities. In this respect, his work follows more closely in the footsteps of the more recent requiems by Liszt and Saint-Saëns.
