Thirteen years after his memorable release of the original version of the Fauré Requiem - first performed by the composer in 1892 at Saint-Gervais in Paris - Philippe Herreweghe recorded the 1901 version for full orchestra. The transcription was commissioned by Fauré's publisher for performance in large concert halls. For the first time on LP, this iconic, long out-of-print recording is available once more from the harmonia mundi archives. Fauré said of this masterpiece, ''My Requiem was composed for nothing.... for pleasure, if I may say so!''
