Berlioz Rediscovered - Ltd. Ed. - 8CD+1 - Deutsche Grammophon

Bol Partner

The Orchestre Revolutionnaire et Romantique under the leadership of John Eliot Gardiner exemplifies the highest level of quality of period instrument performance practice to this day. John Eliot and his orchestra remain the leading internationally recognised interpreters of Berlioz’ works with their performances vividly presenting the composer’s delight in complex rhythmic interplay, and their period instruments revealing a much wider range of sonorities, creating a sense of freshness and discovery. Brought together for the first time for the 150th anniversary of the Berlioz’ death, Decca presents this 8CD+1DVD original jacket set of the ground-breaking Philips recordings. Includes the world premiere recording and Grammy® Award-winning Messe solenelle alongside the key orchestral works Symphonie Fantastique, Harold in Italy and the “dramatic symphony” Roméo et Juliette and the “dramatic legend” La Damnation de Faust. The set is accompanied by performances on DVD of Symphonie Fantastique (from the same hall in which it was premiered in 1830) and the Messe solennelle from Westminster Cathedral 1992 (the first performance of this large-scale Mass for 150 years).
