“If you like the requiems of Duruflé or John Rutter, you will like Paulus. He uses the orchestra to good effect punctuating the poems with bursts of horn or thunderous percussion and tympani when appropriate. … Most are a cappella and offer a chance to concentrate more on the angelic voices of the True Concord ensemble. As usual from the folks at Reference Recordings, the recording quality is top notch, revealing masses of textural detail along with huge dynamic impact. The result is an emotionally and spiritually evocative experience that has the power not only to assuage grief, but to uplift the soul.” —David Maurer, Culture Spot LA
