BRITTEN: War Requiem – Orchestra, Chorus and Boys’ Choir of the Academia Nazionale di Santa Cecelia (Roma)/ Antonio Pappano/ Soloists: Anna Netrebko, sop./ Ian Bostridge, tenor/ Thomas Hampson, bar. – Warner Classics
An all-star cast (Netrebko, Bostridge, Hampson, Pappano) performs Britten’s War Requiem.

BACH: St. John Passion – soloists/ Polyphony/ Orch. of the Age of Enlightenment/ Stephen Layton – Hyperion (2 CDs)
This could be my favorite St. John Passion to date—it is certainly the equal to any other out there.
