Ely Consort: Cherubini - Requiem in C minor
Cherubini’s magnificent Requiem in C minor will be the centrepiece of the concert. It was composed for the re-entombment of the French monarchs at the Basilica of Saint-Denis, Paris, in 1817. Cherubini was already much in demand as a composer in the capital cities of Europe, and this Requiem enhanced his reputation considerably. Schumann called it ‘unequalled’, Brahms thought it ‘marvellous’, and Berlioz declared it ‘the greatest work of its author’. Beethoven admired the work so much he said it
