YES I DO!  I've never heard of Duruflé, though.
Has anyone heard the "Rockquiem", based on Mozart?

I have a complete recording at home. It's nice if you like metal and classical music and if you're open to "fusion" music

Do you have any Requiems you feel a great need to hear?
I would REALLY like to hear: Verdi's, Delius', Schumann's, Liszt's and Dvořák's.

For you, Morigan  ...yes, Faure.
Britten's War Requiem as well
I seem to recall Durufle was quite good also, but its quite a few years since I've heard it.
But Faure's Requiem is tops in my book for sure.

Well I guess I'll chirp in with my top 3:
Fauré
Berlioz
Duruflé
I have a recording with both the Fauré and Duruflé by the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra conducted by Robert Shaw... quite good (it's on Telarc).
Also, my first blog entry at my classical music blog was about the Fauré Requiem and Beethoven's Missa Solemnis. Check it out here.

Biber
Mozart
I would like to discover those by Michael Haydn, especially the unfinished one (his last work. Does this ring a bell to you  )

Fauré and Mozart, in that order. I really must listen to more, and I'd love to actually have recordings of them. Accursed college budget.
