Conductor Ensemble Composers

Notes & Reviews:

"Backhouse understands the importance of pacing in the Requiem, giving properly measured reflection to the two critical Requiem aeternam movements--and the choir follows his lead, perfectly maintaining the tension with impressively seamless legato and expertly executed harmonic transitions... the result is a very satisfying and moving rendition of this all-too-rarely-heard masterpiece." -Classics Today (10/10)
