RecommendedRobert Murray (tenor)
Gabrieli Consort and Players, Wroclaw Philharmonic Choir & Orchestra, Chetham's School of Music Brass Ensemble, Paul McCreesh

Berlioz: Grande Messe des Morts, Op. 5 (Requiem)
RecommendedToby Spence (Tenor)
SWR Vokalensemble Stuttgart, MDR Rundfunkchor Leipzig, Radio-Sinfonieorchester Stuttgart des SWR, Sir Roger Norrington
