In paradise, angels sing. Gabriel Fauré was a quiet man and there’s no fury in his Requiem, just some of the most haunting choral music ever written (believe us – the Pie Jesu will stay with you forever). It’s a beautiful showcase for the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Choir, but French music isn’t just about poetry and pastel colours – and with the passion of Bizet’s Carmen, and the sheer magic of The Sorcerer’s Apprentice (think Disney’s Fantasia), conductor Ben Glassberg opens the concert in a burst of joie de vivre.
