"Tortelier captured the elegance of 
Faurés Requiem
 with balance, tone and tempo,  
but it was 
the phrasing of the violins and  
the Mendelssohn Choir of Pittsburgh that captured me....
  
and the rounded, unforced singing and  
the
lambent tone of the voices
prepared by director  
Betsy Burleigh brought out the goosebumps
."
