In Reply to: BTW, I just listened to the beginning of the A. Davis fifth movement on Qobuz posted by Chris from Lafayette on July 7, 2019 at 00:17:46:
IIRC from the liner notes.As an added bonus, (curmudgeonly old listener alert!) the Suisse Romande bass section plays the Dies Irae theme with menace! As if the Latin translated into something scary like "Day of Wrath." (Modern musicians play it as if they're sneaking peeks at cute kitten vids the whole time, cell phones hidden behind the sheet music.)
