Verdi: Requiem [Download]

'Each of the incisively characterised sections flows naturally out of each other – the slabs of brass in a speaker-bursting 'Tuba mirum' yielding to the nihilistic doubt of 'Mors stupebit' is superbly achieved – and the sheer grief of the 'Lacrymosa' is fantastically well expressed ... This is one of the most driven things I’ve heard Davis do – penetrating, on-the-edge conducting that digs deep into the music’s astounding emotional range, and he is rewarded with similarly engaged, idiomatic playing.'
