Jean Rigby (mezzo soprano), Alastair Miles (bass), Gerald Finley (baritone), John Aler (tenor), Gwynne Howell (bass), Peter Evans (tenor) & Robert Poulton (baritone) Corydon Singers & Orchestra & St Paul's Cathedral Choristers, Matthew Best Berlioz held traditional religion in contempt, but something of the biblical story of Herod’s massacre of the innocents and the Holy Family’s flight into Egypt seems to have struck a chord and resulted in one of his most beautiful works. Indeed, Berlioz compared his ‘trilogie sacrée’ to the illuminations in medieval missals: he saw it as an aid to contemplative devotion. L’Enfance du Christ is one of Berlioz’s most popular and enduring works. The renowned Corydon Singers and Corydon Orchestra, under their conductor and founder Matthew Best, are joined by a first-class team of soloists. 2 CD's for price of 1. Originally issued on CDA66991/2 “An ideal choice for those who want an imaginative view and a superb modern recording” Penguin Guide “No previous recording has moved me like this one - magical - heavenly” The Independent “Luminous Berlioz, with some superb soloists” Classic CD “This new recording of Berlioz's appealing work well stands comparison with its much-praised predecessors” Gramophone Magazine “The recording is surely the best available” BBC Music Magazine “An engaging and moving recording with superb singing from soloists Alastair Miles, Jean Rigby and Gerald Finley” Classic FM Magazine |

Yann Beuron (narrator/centurion), Karen Cargill (Marie), William Dazeley (Joseph), Matthew Rose (Herod) & Peter Rose (Father/Polydorus) London Symphony Orchestra & Tenebrae Choir, Sir Colin Davis "Sustaining a mood of angelic sweetness for nearly two hours is quite a challenge, but this wonderful performance brought it off. Everything seemed to be just right - the chorus, the choice of soloists, the delicate but pointed orchestral sound. And of course the conductor, Colin Davis, who has long been Berlioz's champion on this earth … the real core of this performance was the wonderful chorus, Tenebrae" Daily Telegraph Concert Review | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |
