9. Duruflé: Requiem
Many composers throughout history have written Requiems, and they are some of the most beautiful and moving pieces ever written. Duruflé's 'In Paradisum' is one of the most poignant and in the composer's hands the words – describing the soul finally coming to rest in Heaven with God, are brought to life in an angelic outpouring of praise.
