Here are two of John Rutter's most enduring and endearing pieces: the acclaimed Collegium recordings of John Rutter's Requiem and Magnificat conducted by the composer. Since its first appearance in 1985, the Requiem has been performed again and again all over the world. The Magnificat was premièred in New York in 1990 and has similarly enjoyed immense popularity ever since. This, the first recording of each work, is the composer's own definitive recording.
