Berlioz: Harold in Italy & other orchestral works
Lawrence Power (viola), Bergen Philharmonic Orchestra, Andrew Manze (conductor)
CDA68193
‘Wine, blood, joy and rage mingle in mutual intoxication and make music together’ was Berlioz’s (impractical) description of the finale of ‘Harold’: he would surely have rejoiced in this impassioned performance from Lawrence Power, Andrew Manze and the Bergen Philharmonic.
