5 out of 5 stars An Ear-Opener.......2002-05-15

This disc is remarkable by any standards. First of all, the music. Francois-Joseph Gossec is hardly a household name, even among lovers of the Classical Era in music, and yet his symphonies established the French symphonic tradition. Along with Mehul, he was the leading composer of Revolutionary France, and his incredible Requiem, written in 1760 and published 20 years later, was aptly chosen to commemorate French citizens killed in the storming of the Bastille in 1789.

Keith Anderson, Naxos' astute note writer, is unusually circumspect is saying that this great work "probably influenced" Mozart and Berlioz. I would say instead "almost certainly" did, and Cherubini in the bargain. Like the celebrated requiems of those composers, Gossec's Requiem is a Janus-like work, recalling in its grand fugues and in the French overture that introduces the Dies Irae the traditions of Baroque music. But the high drama of the Tuba Mirum, with its brass choirs that must have served as a model for Berlioz's spectacular movement, and of the Mors Stupebit are "romantic" and literary in the manner of the Sturm and Drang movement and lift us clearly out of the Baroque. So does the operatic treatment of the solo numbers in the Sequentia and Offertorium. Mozart must have had these in mind as he penned his Requiem. But even more remarkable is the spooky orchestral opening of the Offertorium. I'm convinced that Berlioz heard this in his head as he wrote what Schumann considered the most effective section of his Requiem. And listen closely to the stately Introduzione of Gossec's Requiem. In its plangent, open-air writing for the woodwinds and strings, it's not only a model for sections of Berlioz's Requiem, it is an entirely new sound, different from any that a German or Italian composer of the day would coax from an orchestra, and can be seen as establishing a uniquely French orchestral pallet.

Gossec's "Symphonie a 17 parties" is not in the same league with his great Requiem but is nonetheless an interesting musical document and a thoroughly enjoyable piece. In that some of the string writing in the first movement recalls Mehul, it can be asked who influenced whom, especially since Gossec's work was sketched in the 1790s, only to be completed in 1809, around the time of Mehul's first two symphonies. But clearly Gossec's piece has the grandeur that marks the work of both Revolutionary composers. The first movement and Menuetto are especially memorable, and while the overly chatty last movement lets the piece down somewhat, this is still a very attractive symphony.

The playing by the Orchestra della Svizzera Italiana is admirable throughout the Symphonie and the Requiem. The Orchestra is obviously a small, lean body of players, which is all to the good. In their capable hands and that of director Wolf-Dieter Hauschild, the orchestral music has the virtues we ascribe to period-instrument performances: a properly Classical balance between strings and winds, brass and percussion that aren't immersed in an orchestral glue but cut thrillingly through the fabric of the orchestra. The chorus is equally fine, fired by the drama and pathos of Gossec's writing. And the soloists, especially the two men, are superb. Just listen to the thrilling and beautiful singing in the Offertorium. Excellent work as well by the sound engineers.

All in all, this is one of Naxos' best choral recordings. I'd say "landmark" is not too strong a word for it.

5 out of 5 stars It delivers!.......2007-01-10

Naturally, one must posess a predisposition for this music appreciation. That said, when played to restore your inner-energy...it works. The specific selection and sequence provide that balance best meant to reenergize. Normally, I'm not 'that' into this music-presentation. For some reason at the time of perusing, it seemed logical to give it a try. Ultimately, I am very glad that I did...powerful stuff, indeed.

3 out of 5 stars this item IS your money's worth of masterworks.......2006-03-17

this recording is worth the money to buy, especially since it has two c.d.s inside. the songs are indeed fine music, many of the masterworks which you "need" to have. but it is neither the finest recording, nor is it a collection of the finest performances. i am in a near-spectacular choral group which performs these works, and i tend to get overly emotionally involved with grand art. so it is especially helpful, that like the other reviewer said, you can consider playing this through an audio player at your workplace.

4 out of 5 stars Great for the office.......2005-09-24

This stays in my stereo at work, and is perfect for "those days."
These CD's are excellent resources for those who don't realize some of the musical heritage has been lost by the Church and needs to be reclaimed.

4 out of 5 stars Excellent Music.......2005-08-14

This is a very good CD and for those that love the music of the old cathedrals this is the CD you want to have in your collection.

5 out of 5 stars A beautiful variety.......2003-06-10

This has got 2 be 1 of my fav. cd's of all time. The variety & arrangment seems 2 be very well planned. While all of the songs are very beautiful & breathtaking, my 2 favs are the Requiem for My Friend by Preisner & the Dies Irae immediately following it. If you ever run across the Preisner Requiem I would highly recommend that you buy it b/c it is soooo expressive & emotional.

      3 out of 5 stars A Good but Understated Performance.......2003-03-14

      Devos' perfomance is the one that introduced me to Gossec's remarkable Requiem. And while this CD still has legs--largely because of Devos' scholarly devotion to and the score and obvious affection for the music--it emerges as a bit undercharacterized compared to the more recent performance by Diego Fasolis on Naxos 8554750-51.

      Part of the difference is that Naxos' recording is far more impactive, with telling presence in the brass and percussion utterances, compared to Devos' more reticent, genteel recording. But Fasolis and company also imbue the work with far more drama, and this is the most significant difference between the two CDs. Devos' performance suggests the grandeur of the Requiem; Fasolis' convinces that the Requiem is a great piece of music.
