Hi everyone.
Here is a link to what is probably the best BBC Prom concert i have ever seen,the monumental Berlioz Requiem,in a blisteringly superb rendition,conducted by the late great Sir Colin Davis,one of the worlds best Berlioz conductors.

I just love the moment in the Dies Irae before the day of judgement occurs,a great slide on the strings before the full might of the ensemble is realeased,it is a sound of such power that it is almost indescribable.

But it is also important to marvel at the shimmering light of the scoring in the Sanctus,a heavenly glow of incredible delicacy,showing that Berlioz could be subtle as well as stupendous.

Enjoy.!!
