Philippe Herreweghe: conductor<br />
VICTORIA: Officium Defunctorum (Requiem) • 2 Motets • Domine, non sum dignus a4 • Salve Regina a6 • Vadam et circuibo civitatem a6<br />
Tomás Luis de Victoria is definitely one of <strong>the</strong> most important composers in <strong>the</strong> musical history of Spain. His masterpiece is <strong>the</strong><br />
“Officium Defunctorum,” published in Madrid in 1605. In this requiem—written for <strong>the</strong> funeral of Maria of Austria, daughter of<br />
Emperor Charles V—<strong>the</strong> composer reached a mystical intensity of expression. Philippe Herreweghe just loves composers “who know<br />
how to build entire worlds with sounds, recognizable from <strong>the</strong> first notes, profound and full of richness.” For him, Tomás Luis de Victoria<br />
is “one of <strong>the</strong> greatest musical minds ever.” So, it was an obvious choice for Herreweghe to make a recording of this heavenly “Officium<br />
Defunctorum.” And, of course, <strong>the</strong> crystal-clear sound of Collegium Vocale Gent is <strong>the</strong> perfect instrument to perform such music.<br />
