Hit: 5 Stars
Requiems seem to me to be intense, dark or depressing; however this one is more sad than dark. It's obvious that Richafort was heartbroken when his hero Josquin died, especially when hearing the first 10-12 minutes of his requiem. It's also obvious that Richafort, as someone else said, was truly a master in his own right to be able to write music like this. I don't think it sounds like Josquin though. The long, effortless lines (in the beginning anyway) make me think of Palestrina instead. Midway through the graduale the requiem becomes slightly faster and more intense. Among the other tracks, as others have mentioned the Salve Regina & Tru Tru Tru Avant also stand out. Tru Tru Tru Avant is fun to listen to, and somewhat surprising to me since the rest of the album is fairly serious. The Salve Regina is also a masterpiece, but the Requiem is still the centrepiece of this album for sure. I only wish the Huelgas Ensemble included the motet Quem Dicunt Homines on the disc. It is allegedly another masterpiece which is mentioned in the liner notes a few times, but not recorded.
