If you think the end of the 1812 Overture is grandiose, wait till you hear Hector Berlioz’s Te Deum. The composer himself exclaimed “The final movement surpasses all the enormities of which I have been guilty of up to now.” The San Francisco Symphony and Chorus, conducted by Charles Dutoit, perform in colossal mode, along with the Pacific Boychoir. Watch out for the trombones!
