Included here are his two great purely orchestral pieces, Symphonie Fantastique and Harold in Italy, alongside music from the dramatic works Romeo and Juliet and The Damnation of Faust. Also featured are his monumental choral requiem Grande Messe des Morts, the song cycle Les Nuits d'Été, and a selection of some of his best known overtures.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSome of the recordings in this set are considered to be amongst the best ever made, including an exceptional recording of the Grande Messe des Morts conducted by Hermann Scherchen and produced in 1958 in L'Église Saint-Louis des Invalides, where the piece had received its premiere in 1837. Another classic performance featured is that of the oratorio La damnation de Faust made in 1959 and directed by Igor Markevich, a conductor who became especially revered for his interpretations of Berlioz. The French conductor Charles Munch was also recognised as a Berlioz specialist, and a rarely-heard recording of him directing a performance of the sacred trilogy L'Enfance du Christ, one which originated in the U.S.A in 1957, is also included.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAmong the legendary vocal soloists featured are Gérard Souzay, Victoria de los Angeles and Cesare Valletti, In addition, many of the greatest orchestras in the world, including the Berlin Philharmonic, the Royal Philharmonic, the Boston Symphony, and L'Orchestre du Théâtre National de l'Opéra can be heard in the collection conducted by the likes of Lorin Maazel, André Cluytens and Sir Charles Mackerras.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0067\/4660\/3571\/files\/TRACK_LISTING_WITH_WORLD_1_19a2062d-efb2-4940-ac84-cae6b47b1703.png?v=1590005447\u0026amp;width=700\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSymphonie Fantastique, Harold en Italie, Les Nuits dté, Roméo et Juliette Op.17 (Extraits), La Damnation de Faust (Extraits), Le Carnaval Romain Op.9, La Damnation de Faust, Grande messe des morts Op.5, Ouvertures, Lnfance du Christ Op.25 \/ Recordings from 1954 to 1995\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCD 1\u003cbr\u003e1.
