Last night the Edinburgh International Festival of Music and Drama concluded with a performance of Berlioz's massive, triumphant setting of the "Te Deum" - a setting for solo tenor, three choirs, orchestra and organ. This particular performance was unusually exciting in that the performers were in two separate venues - the choral and orchestral forces in the Usher Hall, linked by television to the organ several miles away at St Mary's Cathedral.
