Harold in Italy

Album by Hector Berlioz & Boston Symphony Orchestra & Charles Munch & William Primrose

Harold in Italy is a symphony with solo viola by the French composer Hector Berlioz, composed in 1834. The work blends expressive solo viola passages with expansive orchestral writing in the Romantic programme-music tradition, evoking the melancholy of a travelling protagonist and marking an important development in Berlioz's career and 19th-century French orchestral practice.
