Argo

A truly pioneering recording of Berlioz rarities heralding the start of the major Berlioz revival in the late 1960s.

---

A widely-varied programme of music which reveals many of Berlioz's characteristics. "...an enteratining brantub in which the Berlioz-lover can fish with sometimes delightful, sometimes hilarious, sometimes fairly absurd but almost always entertaining results ... the performances are full of enthusiasm and good sense; which is to say that the more fervently patriotic pieces are sung lustily and keenly without being either "sent up" or overdone, while the religious songs are given very simple and direct performances that enhance their melodic charm."
