Carl Rütti’s choral music is “sensuous and exuberant by turns, combining dazzling rhythms and soaring melodies with distinctively lush harmonies” Choir & Organ magazine

Of his Requiem, immense in scale yet often intimate in tone, the composer writes that ‘no words are strong enough to express the feelings of the bereaved, nor sufficient to explain what will await us after death. Music may be the most appropriate language’.

Scored for soprano, baritone, double choir, strings, harp and organ, Rütti’s Requiem ultimately affirms life’s precious fragility.


“As I write this the disc is on its eighth repeat and I still find new wonders revealed at each hearing - and I don't think a critic could give higher praise than that. The music is sumptuous - there's no other word for it.”
Gramophone Magazine
