Ludovic Morlot conducts Berlioz, L'Enfance du Christ

Sobre o Evento

Discover a Christmas concert of a different kind in Brussels: Ludovic Morlot leads an impressive ensemble of soloists and the La Monnaie Symphony orchestra and chorus performing an extraordinary but little performed work by Berlioz: L'enfance du Christ (The Childhood of Christ).

Hector Berlioz rebuked the critics who claimed that his oratorio displayed a radical change in style compared to his earlier works, arguing that "the subject naturally lent itself to a gentle and simple style of music".
