7 Judex Crederis Hector Berlioz
André de Quadros conducts Viva Voce, Monash Women’s Choir, Victoria Chorale, Victorian Boys’ Choir, Voice Box, Wesley Adult Choir and the New Monash Orchestra, with tenor soloist Dwayne Jones and organist Linda Kent.
Written in 1849, the Te Deum ranks among Berlioz’s finest scores: a work of mammoth proportions in forces, breadth of style and musical form.
It takes in the beautifully melodic ‘Tibi omnes’, the dramatic and militaristic ‘Praeludium’, the intricately contrapuntal ‘Dignare’, and the ‘Judex crederis’, which Berlioz ranked with the Symphonie funèbre et triomphale among his most “architectural and grandiose creations”.
Particular care has been taken with balance on this recording, a challenge that the scale of the piece and its forces often makes problematic elsewhere.
