Robin Ticciati - Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra - Berlioz: L'Enfance du Christ - The Sunday Times

This is as fine a performance of Berlioz's triptych as I have heard. Its delicacy of colour is matched by its expressive intensity. Under Ticciati's direction, the excellent Swedish choir and orchestra capture the essence of the work...Yann Beuron (Narrator), Véronique Gens (Mary) and Stephan Loges (Joseph) are first-rate soloists. Above all, Alastair Miles, as Herod and the Householder...characterises these contrasting, complementary roles to perfection.
