L’Enfance du Christ

Album by Hector Berlioz & Dame Janet Baker & Éric Tappy & Sir Thomas Allen & Jules Bastin & The John Alldis Choir & London Symphony Orchestra & Sir Colin Davis

L'Enfance du Christ is an oratorio by French composer Hector Berlioz, composed and first performed in 1854. Musically it blends devotional choral writing and expressive orchestral colour with lyrical solo passages in a three-part sacred trilogy, reflecting Berlioz's engagement with religious subjects in the mid-19th century and occupying a distinctive place among his operatic and symphonic output.
