Requiem
Album by Hector Berlioz & Keith Lewis & NDR Vokalensemble & ORF-Chor & hr‐Sinfonieorchester & Eliahu Inbal
Requiem (Grande Messe des Morts) is a requiem mass by French composer Hector Berlioz, completed in 1837. The work is scored for extraordinarily large forces — including expanded brass, percussion and choir — and is characterised by dramatic contrasts, monumental choral passages and vivid orchestral colour, representing a key example of Berlioz's expansive Romantic style and an important work in 19th-century choral-orchestral repertoire.
