CDs
CD (Compact Disc)
Herkömmliche CD, die mit allen CD-Playern und Computerlaufwerken, aber auch mit den meisten SACD- oder Multiplayern abspielbar ist.
„Leidenschaftlicher Ausdruck“ ist in L’Enfance du Christ immer noch vorhanden; er drückt nur etwas anderes, etwas sehr viel Zarteres aus, als das, was wir in den meisten anderen Stücken seines Gesamtwerks finden.
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.
'An ideal choice for those who want an imaginative view and a superb modern recording' (The Penguin Guide to Compact Discs)
'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)
