Dona eis requiem

We’re a week into the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Thousands are dead, tens of thousands of homes are damaged or destroyed. And Vladimir Putin—getting wiggier by the hour—is upping the warfare stakes.

I fancy something from a requiem mass. Like Fauré’s “Pie Jesu”.

There are many versions of this out there, but I feel like the purity of Kathleen Battle’s voice is what we need.
