  • Berlioz's Les Nuits D'été
    Berlioz’s Les nuits d’été - A survey of the discography by Ralph Moore The song cycle Les nuits d'été (Summer Nights) Op. 7 consists of settings by Hector Berlioz of six poems written by his friend Théophile Gautier. Strictly speaking, they do not really constitute a cycle, insofar as they are not linked by any narrative but only loosely connected by their disparate treatment of the themes of love and loss. There is, however, a neat symmetry in their arrangement: two cheerful, optimistic songs looking forward to the future, frame four sombre, introspective songs. Completed in 1841, they were originally for a mezzo-soprano or tenor soloist with a piano accompaniment but having orchestrated "Absence" in 1843 for his lover and future wife, Maria Recio, Berlioz then did the same for the other five in 1856, transposing the second and third songs to lower keys. When this version was published, Berlioz specified different voices for the various songs: mezzo-soprano or tenor for "Villanelle", contralto for "Le spectre de la rose", baritone (or, optionally, contralto or mezzo) for "Sur les lagunes", mezzo or tenor for "Absence", tenor for "Au cimetière", and mezzo or tenor for "L'île inconnue". However, after a long period of neglect, in their resurgence in modern times they have generally become the province of a single singer, usually a mezzo-soprano – although both mezzos and sopranos sometimes tinker with the keys to ensure that the tessitura of individual songs sits in the sweet spot of their voices, and transpositions of every song are now available so that it can be sung in any one of three - or, in the case of “Au cimetière”, four - key options; thus, there is no consistency of keys across the board.

  • John Nelson and Joyce Didonato Continue Their Universally-Acclaimed Berlioz Series with Roméo Et Juliette Recorded Live in Strasbourg
    John Nelson and Joyce DiDonato continue their universally-acclaimed Berlioz series with Roméo et Juliette recorded live in Strasbourg “John Nelson is the best living conductor of the complex music of Hector Berlioz since the death of Colin Davis.” RONDO Magazin Saturday 18 April, 19:00 Monday 20 April, 19:00 Palais de la musique et des congrès, Strasbourg Berlioz Roméo et Juliette Joyce DiDonato | Cyrille Dubois | Nicolas Courjal John Nelson conductor Gulbenkian Chorus Lisbon Orchestre Philharmonique de Strasbourg Generously supported by Ascanio’s Purse Continuing the prodigious successes of the multi award-winning Les Troyens (2017) and La Damnation de Faust (2019), acclaimed Berlioz authority John Nelson returns to Strasbourg on 18 and 20 April 2020 to record Berlioz’s Roméo et Juliette live in concert. Featuring star soloists Joyce DiDonato, Cyrille Dubois and Nicolas Courjal, the recording will be released on Warner’s Erato label in November 2020. “Lightning, they say, never strikes in the same place twice. If that's the case, then somebody please explain the scorch marks streaked across Strasbourg's Palais de la Musique et des Congrès.” Bachtrack on La Damnation de Faust Deftly poised between choral symphony and stage drama, Roméo et Juliette marks the pinnacle of French Romanticism, highlighting Berlioz’s exceptional orchestral mastery, complete with a double chorus of warring Capulets and Montagues. Berlioz regarded Roméo et Juliette as his greatest success, particularly the Love Scene, with rich orchestral writing dramatising the two lovers. Thoughts of setting the work had haunted Hector Berlioz since he attended a revelatory performance of Shakespeare’s play in 1827, starring actress Harriet Smithson, beginning an infatuation on Berlioz’s part that only ended with the pair’s hapless marriage in 1833.

  • Berlioz's Les Troyens
    Berlioz’s Les Troyens - A Survey of the Discography by Ralph Moore In over a hundred years of recording history, there have been no more than forty recordings of Berlioz’ epic masterpiece in any form – excerpts, complete, in French, English and several other languages – and there are reasons for that comparative paucity of output. Of those, only two are complete studio recordings in French, as Scherchen’s 1952 set is just Part 2, Les Troyens à Carthage. There are, however, also a couple of complete, live, modern recordings in French, whose digital sound is virtually as good as the studio versions; otherwise, despite individual gems, the catalogue offers a limited choice if you apply the reasonable criteria of wanting a complete performance in good sound performed in French by first-rate singers. Fortunately, we are not bereft of worthy accounts: those remaining options are generally attractive and there is also a range of excellent supplementary recordings. Les Troyens is challenging to stage as well as sing; it essentially combines two operas running for a total of four hours and as such a stage production is at least the equivalent of mounting Götterdämmerung - and you need two prima donnas, not just one. I am of the not especially controversial opinion that the best music is in the second half of an opera, which is why that was first performed. The Trojan first part is necessarily more jagged and violent apart from interludes such as the lovely duet between Cassandre and Chorèbe, whereas the Carthage action contains more which is lyrical or reflective.

    John Nelson records Berlioz’s complete Les Troyens with a star-studded cast including Joyce DiDonato, Marie-Nicole Lemieux and Michael Spyres Hector Berlioz - Les Troyens 4 CDs + DVD: highlights from live concert Release date: 24 November 2017 “The musical event of the year” Forum Opera Erato release on November 24 a complete version of Berlioz's Les Troyens, conducted by John Nelson and featuring a magnificent cast, including Joyce DiDonato, Michael Spyres and Marie-Nicole Lemieux. The recording was made during two concert performances given in Strasbourg in April 2017. John Nelson, an acknowledged master of Berlioz's music, made his New York City début with an uncut concert performance of Les Troyens at Carnegie Hall in 1973 and during the last 40 years has conducted the opera more than any other conductor. In John Nelson’s words: “I have had the enormous privilege of recording what I consider to be the greatest French opera, with a predominately French cast, which has never been done before in all the recordings to date…" “Berlioz specialist John Nelson conducted the Orchestre Philharmonique de Strasbourg in the complete score – not a single note was cut – the result was a triumph” 5* Bachtrack review of concert performance, April 2017 The cast includes a number of prominent French singers including Marianne Crebassa, Stéphane Degout, Nicolas Courjal, Stanislas de Barbeyrac and Cyrille Dubois. “It has been a gift to return to making music with John Nelson, in particular on this momentous occasion of his return to the epic journey of

  • John Nelson Conducts New Recordings of Berlioz's Monumental
    John Nelson conducts new recordings of Berlioz’s monumental Requiem and The Damnation of Faust Friday 20 September Berlioz Requiem Warners Erato | 9029543064 Friday 22 November Berlioz La Damnation de Faust Warners Erato “As a concert, this rendition of La Damnation de Faust was unforgettable. As a recording session, expect it to win accolades.” Musical America Following acclaimed performances in London and Strasbourg in Spring 2019, renowned American conductor and Berlioz expert John Nelson conducts new recordings of Berlioz’s monumental Requiem (20 September) and The Damnation of Faust (22 November) on Warners Erato. Nelson follows the success of his multi award-winning Les Troyens with these two new recordings. Nelson made his New York City debut with an uncut concert performance of Berlioz’s Les Troyens at Carnegie Hall in 1973, and has been a foremost interpreter of the composer’s music since. On 8 March 2019, 150 years to the day since the death of the composer, John Nelson recorded Berlioz’s Requiem (Grande Messe des Morts) in St. Paul’s Cathedral with tenor soloist Michael Spyres and tremendous forces of over 300 musicians, comprising the Philharmonia Orchestra (with 10 timpanists and four brass bands) and over 200 singers from the two choirs of the Philharmonia and the London Philharmonic. The recording is released on DVD and CD on Warners Erato. The Requiem (Grande Messe des Morts), one of Berlioz’s early works, provides a fitting tribute to the composer, who deemed it one of his finest: “If I were threatened with the destruction of the whole of my works save one, I should crave mercy for the Grande Messe des morts.” John Nelson said: “Berlioz was not a religious person, but one would never know it from his Requiem or his other religious works … They are all shot through with the fervour of his childhood’s Catholic upbringing.
