A nice collection of Youtubes SE. I prefer Mozart’s to Verdi’s. Haydn’s is ok but not so interesting. Cherubini’s has got real balls, though that gong at the beginning I would have left out!

The gong is truly unique; I think it probably represents the shattering of the world. A discussion for the Cherubini Requiem topic, though!

Verdi's was criticized for being too theatrical. I have that recording by HvK. Another thread to think about!

Back to Faure, though... I liked the use of organ to create a mystical tone, very creative.

Yes an most unusual effect.
