Considered one of the great composers for orchestra, Berlioz brings theatre and spectacle to this text that praises God. Dedicated to Prince Albert in 1849 it received its premiere in the spring of 1855 - with almost 1000 performers - at the Church of St. Eustache, Paris. Listen out for the 12 harps!
