COLOSSAL. IMPRESSIONS. MEMORIES.
One of the most celebrated composers of the turn of the 18th and 19th centuries, Luigi Cherubini had a major influence on his contemporaries including Ludwig van Beethoven. Composed in 1817 to commemorate the fate of the executed French King Louis XVI, ‘Requiem’ was considered Cherubini’s equally significant musical piece by Berlioz, Schumann and Brahms alike. The work was performed at Beethoven’s funeral service in 1827, and it was also played in Marseille’s main church in 1834 at a concert dedicated to the memory of Beethoven. A contemporary Hungarian newspaper reported on the latter event in the following way: the large-scale work was performed by nearly five hundred performers, and the piece “has made a great impression on the audience that filled every part of the church.”
