Reviews
Gounod, Requiem Dvorák, Messe in D
Dem Berliner Rundfunkchor gelingt es hervorragend, in beiden Werken die demütige Zuversicht zum Erklingen zu bringen, die die Komponisten hier in Musik gesetzt haben.

[…] elegant, fluid and noble performances […]
Guy Engels, www.pizzicato.lu, 6. Januar 2015
Aufgrund der ungewöhnlichen Besetzungen der beiden hier eingespielten Kompositionen und der hohen musikalischen Qualität überzeugt das Gesamtpaket der vorliegenden Einspielung.
Marion Beyer, klassik.com, 31. Dezember 2014
La principale vedette est indéniablement le ch?ur – homogène, sensible, nuancé-, placé sous la direction de Risto Joost.
Der eigentliche Star ist unzweifelhaft der Chor, der unter der Leitung von Risto Joost homogen, sensibel und nuanciert agiert.
La libre Belgique, 11. März 2015
Charles Gounod’s Requiem - performed under the baton of conductor Risto Joost – is arranged for solo organ here, a departure from the normal accompaniment for the multi-part composition. Yet as a consequence of the nearly absent instrumentation, the full elegance of the choral arrangement is allowed to shine, beautifully realized by Rundfunkchor Berlin singers.
