CHORAL: Carlo Mario Giulini masterfully melds the Philharmonia Orchestra, chorus and four soloists into an incandescent Verdi Requiem (Angel). Intricate but eloquent, the Symphony of Psalms is performed by the CBC Symphony and the Festival Singers of Toronto, spurred on by Igor Stravinsky (Columbia...
