Marking the 150th anniversary of Berlioz’s death, this performance of the mighty Requiem or Grande Messe des Morts – presented on both DVD and CD – took place in St Paul’s Cathedral, London, in March 2019. Conducted by John Nelson, it involved over 300 musicians, including tenor Michael Spyres. As Nelson said: “Every measure resonates deeply with me and I feel there is sincerity, even in the great moments of bombast.” The Times wrote: “The surpassing virtue of this performance … was that both aspects, the spine-shakingly spectacular and the heart-rendingly haunting, were allowed to make their impact.

Michael Spyres (tenor)

Victory of sound team !
As far as I listen at home, other recordings sound from far away as they focus sound on climax while this is vivid from detail to the maximum.
I haven't enjoyed this work but may get to like it :)
Performance is also tremendous !!
Many thanks

There is nothing to save in this interpretation, neither the sound, nor the tenor, nor the choir, nor the conductor.
