The cavernous
Royal Albert Hall is a
natural setting for Berlioz’s
monumental Requiem.
Although the work’s choral
and instrumental
requirements are massive,
perhaps most revolutionary
is its exploitation of the
performance space as an
element of composition. Thierry Fischer directs his
final concert as Principal Conductor of BBC National
Orchestra of Wales.

Prom 39: Thierry Fischer ends his BBC NOW tenure with the Berlioz Requiem

David Allen, 13th August

It’s been a busy couple of months for Berlioz’s Requiem in London. First there was Sir Colin Davis’s June performance at St. Paul’s, with the reinforced London Symphony Orchestra’s brass bands arrayed around the dome. Now, on an unofficial Big Choral Weekend at the Proms there was this valedictory effort from the BBC National Orchestra of Wales and their outgoing music director, Thierry Fischer.
