Requiem
Album by Hector Berlioz & WDR Sinfonieorchester Köln & Dimitri Mitropoulos & Nicolai Gedda
The Requiem (Grande Messe des morts) is a large-scale choral and orchestral work by French composer Hector Berlioz, completed in 1837. The score calls for massive orchestral and choral forces, including expanded brass and percussion, producing monumental dynamics and sonorities that represented a significant expansion of scale in 19th-century sacred music and influenced later large-scale choral-orchestral writing.
