Harold en Italie

Album by Hector Berlioz & Lise Berthaud & Giovanni Radivo & Orchestre national de Lyon & Leonard Slatkin

Harold en Italie is a symphony with a prominent solo viola by French composer Hector Berlioz, composed in 1834. Combining programme-music ideas with expansive Romantic orchestration, it pairs an extended viola role with vivid orchestral colour and episodic, narratively driven movements, and it sits within Berlioz's output as an exploration of narrative orchestral writing in the early Romantic period.
