This requiem became one of the most popular works in 18th century France, being performed for Rameau's death in 1764 and for Louis XV's ten years later. Making it stand out from other pieces in the genre is Gilles' use of sensibilité to produce orchestral effects which might be called pre-Romantic if they weren't so utterly French Baroque. The motet (1701) is a much more seductively Italian-type work, with plenty of ear-catching devices to help illustrate its psalm text. ---recordsinternational.com
