Composer:
Hector Berlioz

Conductor:
John Eliot Gardiner

Background: 'John Eliot Gardiner here divides the six keenly atmospheric songs of Les Nuits d'été between four singers, in some ways an ideal solution when his choice of singers is inspired and the presiding genius of the conductor makes this a memorable Berlioz…'. Penguin Guide *** on Berlioz.

'Massenet's orchestral works are shamefully neglected. If you like, say, Tchaikovsky's ballet suites, Then you should love this richly scored, wonderfully tuneful music. Dramatic Scenes is fascinating in that its finale features a march theme curiously similar to that in the finale of Sibelius' Third Symphony. Fairy Scenes is French Mendelssohn with sexier scoring, while The Last Sleep of the Virgin is one of those yummy bits of sugary fluff that only a French composer could take so seriously, and execute so flawlessly. These are handily the best versions of these works available (not that there are many)…' - ClassicsToday.com on Massenet.
