Beethoven 3 & Cherubini. Requiem

When Beethoven died in 1827, no requiem of his own was played at his funeral – as he had never written one – but the piece by Luigi Cherubini. Beethoven considered Cherubini to be the greatest composer of his time and admired his mass for the dead, as did Schumann, Berlioz and Brahms after him. Who better than Philippe Herreweghe and the unrivalled Collegium Vocale Gent and Orchestre des Champs-Élysées to dust off this rarely performed yet unforgettable Requiem? Herreweghe begins with Beethoven’s Third Symphony, in which the Viennese giant heralds the dawn of Romantic music. Hear how the Eroica has lost none of its expressivity and power, still knocking you off your feet more than two centuries later.
