Requiem: Grande Messe des Morts
Album by Hector Berlioz & Peter Schreier & Chor des Bayerischen Rundfunks & Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks & Charles Munch
Requiem: Grande Messe des Morts is a large-scale requiem by French composer Hector Berlioz, composed in 1837. Scored for very large forces including expanded orchestra, four brass choirs, percussion and a massive chorus, it features dramatic dynamic contrasts, unconventional orchestral colour and monumental sonorities that mark a high point in Berlioz's exploration of orchestral technique and influenced the 19th-century tradition of grand ceremonial works.
