Harold in Italy

Album by Hector Berlioz & New York Philharmonic & Leonard Bernstein

Harold in Italy is a symphonic work for solo viola and orchestra by French composer Hector Berlioz, composed and first performed in 1834. Blending programme-driven Romantic orchestration with prominent solo viola passages, the work explores descriptive, episodic themes and occupies a distinctive place in Berlioz's output as an example of his innovative approach to orchestral colour and programme music.
