This 2011 Naïve recording features the exceptional Anne Sofie von Otter in two Berlioz masterworks. Les Nuits D'Été is one of classical music's greatest vocal cycles, six poems set to lush, imaginative orchestration. Harold En Italie is a symphony for viola soloist and orchestra, blending Romantic drama with orchestral color. Von Otter brings extraordinary sensitivity to the vocal work, and violist Antoine Tamestit navigates the demanding solo part with grace. Marc Minkowski conducts Les Musiciens Du Louvre with a period-conscious approach that feels immediate and alive. These are central Romantic masterworks performed by musicians who clearly understand and love the music deeply. Essential for Berlioz devotees and Romantic enthusiasts.
