Requiem, op. 5 / Harold en Italie

Album by Hector Berlioz & Charles Munch & Igor Markevitch

Requiem, Op. 5 / Harold en Italie is a recording of two major orchestral works by Hector Berlioz, composed in 1837 and 1834 respectively. Musically the pairing contrasts a large-scale liturgical mass employing vast orchestral and choral forces with a programme symphony featuring a prominent solo viola, exemplifying Berlioz's innovative orchestration and his contribution to Romantic programme music.
