The Grande Messe des Morts is undoubtedly one of the most profound and harmonious sacred works of the second half of the 18th century, so much so that it lies at the crossroads of symphonic and choral writing, of the baroque and the classical genres, of the mass and the requiem. A true masterpiece by Gossec!
Desire for eternal youth, passion for love, insatiable thirst for knowledge and finally a dizzying descent into the infernal abyss: such is the dreadful fate of the famous Faust. This concert version, conducted by François-Xavier Roth, allows us to hear this work with the strength and audacity of the first Berlioz: a dark and resplendent masterpiece... to be damned for!
