Berlioz: La Damnation De Faust

'The most dramatic piece that Berlioz ever wrote', is how conductor John Nelson describes 'La Damnation de Faust'. The composer designated this thrilling hybrid of oratorio and opera a 'légende dramatique'. Following in the triumphant footsteps of 'Les Troyens', also recorded at the Auditorium Erasme in Strasbourg, this performance reunites Nelson and the Orchestre Philharmonique de Strasbourg with singers Michael Spyres, Joyce DiDonato and Nicolas Courjal.
