In his opera Les Troyens and symphonic poem Roméo et Juliette, Berlioz demonstrates an astonishing mastery of episode, expression, and impulse. Each is a dramatic realisation of a familiar tale, drawn from Berlioz' powerful grasp of the meta-human personalities within, and each is coloured by the hand of one of the great innovators of orchestration.
"Talmi secures brilliant playing from his orchestra, with admirably crisp ensemble"
