The Requiem Canticles may not be Stravinsky's finest score; it would be asking a lot of a composer in his eighty-fifth year that he should approach, let alone surpass, the achievement of works like The Rite of Spring, The Wedding, Oedipus rex or the Symphony of Psalms. But in its own context the Requiem Canticles is not unworthy of standing beside those masterpieces. -- Stephen Walsh
