Philharmonia Orchestra - Berlioz's Requiem
Esa-Pekka Salonen, the Philharmonia Orchestra and the Edinburgh Festival Chorus perform Berlioz's Grande Messe des morts at the 2015 Edinburgh International Festival.
In the final concert broadcast from the 2015 Edinburgh International Festival, a performance of one of the most sonorous of choral works: Berlioz's Grande Messe des Morts.
Written on a vast scale for a vast orchestra, it is a truly innovative and compelling work with the massed voices of the chorus at its centre. Epic and demanding - suitably grand for the Edinburgh Festival Chorus's 50th-year celebrations - Esa-Pekka Salonen conducts a fortified Philharmonia Orchestra through the score's unique orchestral colours, joined by tenor Lawrence Brownlee for the Requiem's majestic Sanctus.
