L’Enfance du Christ, op. 25

Album by Hector Berlioz & Monteverdi Choir & Orchestre de l’Opéra de Lyon & Sir John Eliot Gardiner

L'Enfance du Christ, Op. 25 is an oratorio by French composer Hector Berlioz, premiered in 1854. Scored for soloists, chorus and orchestra, it presents a lyrical, devotional narrative in a restrained, pastoral idiom that contrasts with Berlioz's earlier flamboyant orchestral dramas and occupies a distinctive place in his mid-career output.
