Grande Messe des Morts

Album by Hector Berlioz & Richard Lewis & Royal Philharmonic Chorus & Royal Philharmonic Orchestra & Sir Thomas Beecham

Grande Messe des morts is a large-scale choral and orchestral Requiem by the French composer Hector Berlioz, composed and first performed in 1837. Marked by massive forces and bold orchestration with prominent brass, woodwind and percussion parts alongside expansive choral writing, it reflects Berlioz's Romantic emphasis on scale and timbral colour and occupies an important place in his output and in nineteenth-century sacred music.
