Harold en Italie

Album by Hector Berlioz & Bruno Pasquier & Jean‐François Heisser

Harold en Italie is a symphony with a prominent solo viola by French composer Hector Berlioz, composed in 1834. The work blends Romantic orchestral colour and programme-driven narrative with an extended solo-viola role that explores recurring thematic material, marking an important step in Berlioz's development of large-scale orchestral writing and in mid-19th-century French symphonic practice.
