The opening "Rêveries - Passions" is one of the great musical expressions of sexual infatuation, one that Sir Simon Rattle shapes well… The Berlin soloists make a gorgeous sounds, the lead clarinet and cor anglais especially… La mort de Cléopâtre is… prime-cut Berlioz, outrageously advanced for its time (1827-30). Rattle obviously relishes the music's ghostly aura, much as he focuses the pre-Roméo atmosphere near the start of the "Scène lyrique".

Editors's info:
Having championed Russian and German repertoire in their first three releases of 2008, Sir Simon Rattle and the Berliner Philharmoniker turned to French music for their latest CD, specifically the Symphonie fantastique and La mort de Cléopâtre by Hector Berlioz. The Grammy-Award winning mezzo-soprano Susan Graham is featured in La mort de Cléopâtre.

The orchestra bring the intensity Rattle describes directly to bear on Berlioz’s work, undaunted by the fire in late May 2008 at Berlin’s Philharmonie that resulted in a last minute change of date and venue to Berlin’s Jesus Christ Kirche for the recording of this album.
