With his grand, extravagant compositions, Hector Berlioz was one of the greatest musical figures of the 19th century. Of all his works, he most cherished his highly acclaimed Requiem, "La Grande Messe Des Morts," written in honor of soldiers fallen in battle. The magnificent Regensburg Cathedral is the perfect setting for this recording of Berlioz's monumental work, finishing with the climactic pealing of the cathedral bells. Sir Colin Davis conducts the Bayerischer Rundfunk Symphony Chorus and Orchestra in a splendid, moving performance.
