The album spans a total of 64 minutes, featuring Duruflé's iconic "Requiem" for choir and organ, op. 9, along with his "Suite" for organ, op. 5.
Duruflé's "Requiem" is a testament to his exceptional ability to blend Gregorian chant with modern harmonic language, creating a work that is both timeless and deeply resonant.
