Lent and Easter have provided composers from every generation with a wealth of material to set to music, either drawn from the Bible itself or associated with the themes of the season: penitence, suffering, reflection, solace and joy. 

This double-CD collection features a variety of music inspired by Easter, from early Gregorian Chant to Bach's majestic Passion settings to selections from the popular Requiems by Mozart, Fauré and Rutter.
