This performance under Philippe Herreweghe, with Collegium Vocale Gent and soloists Ilse Eerens, Bernarda Fink, Maximilian Schmitt, and Nathan Berg, offers a deeply affecting interpretation of Dvořák’s Requiem, Op. 89, recorded live at deSingel in Antwerp. At the heart of this performance is Herreweghe’s signature sensitivity. While Dvořák’s writing can verge on the operatic, Herreweghe expertly navigates between drama and symphonic cohesion, culminating in a transcendent Agnus Dei.
