Free Music Review: Limp Requiem, but Bonney is lovely in the songs
Hit: 4 Stars
The highlight of this CD isn't the main work but the 13 songs of Faure performed by Barbara Bonney and her then-hsuband Hakan Hagegard. She in particular is very special in this repertoire, not singing with perfect idiomatic French but sitll using her delightful lyric-coloratura with real artistry. Not since the young Kathleen Battle have these Faure gems sounded so good.
Bonney is also a standout in the Requiem, where Hagegard comes off as rather colorless and lacking in religious fervency in the Libera Me. But it's probably Ozawa who's to blame, since his conducting is often limp instead of reverent. Maybe he equates the two. Orchestra and chorus, as you'd expect, are flawless. If only one didn't feel that the music was being laid out on a table in the morgue. My four-star rating is for the songs.
