Requiem

Album by Hector Berlioz & Charles Dutoit & Orchestre symphonique de Montréal & Chœur de l’Orchestre symphonique de Montréal

Requiem (Grande Messe des morts) is a large-scale sacred choral-orchestral composition by French composer Hector Berlioz, completed in 1837. The work employs massive forces, including expanded brass and percussion, antiphonal choirs and dramatic contrasts, pushing the boundaries of orchestral and choral scale in the mid-19th century and occupying a significant place in Berlioz's output and in 19th-century choral-orchestral practice.

First released: 1999
