Our Take

Ah, Berlioz! The original emo composer strikes again with his brooding masterpiece "La Damnation De Faust," interpreted here by the London Symphony Orchestra under the baton of the illustrious Sir Simon Rattle. Joined by the angelic voices of the Bryan Choir, this recording is a swirling vortex of drama, passion, and pure musical ecstasy.

From the opening notes of "Hungarian March," you can feel the tension building like a pot of boiling tea ready to explode. The orchestra plays with a ferocity that is both mesmerizing and terrifying, showcasing Berlioz's genius for creating atmosphere and mood. Rattle conducts with a fierce intensity, guiding the musicians through the twists and turns of Faust's tragic journey with masterful precision.

But it's not just the orchestra that shines on this recording – the Bryan Choir adds a hauntingly beautiful layer of vocal textures that elevate the music to new heights. Their ethereal voices float above the orchestral swells, creating a sense of otherworldly beauty that is both captivating and spine-chilling.

Overall, this recording of "La Damnation De Faust" is a triumph of musical storytelling, blending Berlioz's Romantic sensibilities with Rattle's modern interpretation to create a timeless masterpiece that will thrill and chill listeners for generations to come. Bravo, maestro, bravo! Verdict: 9.5/10, must-listen for fans of classical music with a dark twist.
