Synopsis

From London's Royal Albert Hall, James Naughtie reports live on a performance of Berlioz's Requiem (Grande Messe des Morts), a distinctive undertaking that unites young musicians from England and France. This event forms part of Naughtie's ongoing exploration of Berlioz's work, with Colin Davis conducting the choruses and orchestras of both the Guildhall School of Music and Drama and the Paris Conservatoire, alongside tenor Stuart Neill.
