Requiem Canticles

Requiem Canticles
The Requiem Canticles may not be Stravinsky's nest score; it would be asking a lot
of a composer in his eighty-fth year that he should approach, let alone surpass, the
achievement of works like The Rite of Spring, The Wedding, Oedipus rex or the
Symphony of Psalms. But in its own context the Requiem Canticles is not unworthy
of standing beside those masterpieces. -- Stephen Walsh
