Product description

Immerse yourself in the captivating world of Hector Berlioz with his enchanting compositions "Harold en Italie" and "Les Nuits d'été." This live album, released on January 18, 2019, under the harmonia mundi label, offers a mesmerizing journey through the depths of classical music, showcasing Berlioz's mastery of orchestral and vocal arrangements.

"Harold en Italie," a symphony with obbligato viola, was originally intended for the legendary Niccolò Paganini but stands as a testament to Berlioz's innovative spirit. The four movements, performed live, paint a vivid picture of melancholy, joy, and adventure, with the viola part beautifully rendered by Tabea Zimmermann.

Following this, "Les Nuits d'été," a pioneering song cycle for voice and orchestra, features the rich baritone of Stéphane Degout. This collection of six songs, set to poems by Théophile Gautier, explores themes of love, longing, and nature, with Berlioz's lush orchestration providing a rich backdrop.

Under the skilled direction of François-Xavier Roth and the Les Siècles orchestra, this album captures the essence of Berlioz's genius. With a total duration of 1 hour and 10 minutes, it's a compelling listen for both seasoned classical music enthusiasts and those new to the genre. Dive into the world of Berlioz and experience the timeless beauty of these iconic works.
