About

The six previous recordings in Sir Colin's Berlioz cycle have accounted for four Editor's Choices in Gramophone Magazine, two Grammy Awards, two Classical Brits, a Gramophone Award as well as numerous other prizes around the world.

The formula for L'enfance du Christ remains the same. It features a brilliant young cast but it also has a secret weapon: the tremendous chamber choir, Tenebrae.

Concert Reviews:

"Sustaining a mood of angelic sweetness for nearly two hours is quite a challenge, but this wonderful performance brought it off. Everything seemed to be just right - the chorus, the choice of soloists, the delicate but pointed orchestral sound. And of course the conductor, Colin Davis, who has long been Berlioz's champion on this earth … the real core of this performance was the wonderful chorus, Tenebrae." Daily Telegraph

"Beuron has the clearest, most pristine and welcoming of lyric tenor voices … I cannot imagine a more rapt or humane sense of wonder than that which Beuron readily conveyed. There was wonder too from Tenebrae, the beautifully modulated chamber choir. Awesome? Yes." The Independent

"Colin Davis's extraordinary rapport with Berlioz's idiom was evident as much in the lucid tone he drew from every instrumental department as in his feeling for the music's mood and flow." The Guardian
