Requiem / Symphonie funèbre et triomphale

Album by Hector Berlioz & London Symphony Orchestra & London Symphony Chorus & Sir Colin Davis

Requiem and Symphonie funèbre et triomphale are two large-scale choral and orchestral works by French composer Hector Berlioz, composed in 1837 and 1840 respectively. The pieces employ expansive orchestral forces, prominent brass and percussion writing and the use of spatially separated ensembles, reflecting Berlioz's exploration of ceremonial and funerary sonorities and marking a mature phase in his orchestral approach that had repercussions for later Romantic large-scale works.
