When Berlioz’s Requiem premiered in 1837, 450 performers took the audience on a cinematic journey of faith, fear and hope. The @londonsymphonyorchestra, and choirs @londonsymphonychorus and @bbcsymphonyorchestra, conducted by @antoniopappanoconductor, took us on a similar path on Saturday as part of the Proms. Step into rehearsal for one of the most monumental musical statements.
