Berlioz: L Enfance Du Christ

Robin Ticciati, conductor Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra Yann Beuron: Narrator Véronique Gens: Virgin Mary Stephan Loges: Joseph Alastair Miles: Father of the Family Ticciati cements his reputation as an outstanding Berliozian with his latest recording, L"'enfance du Christ, featuring the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra and Chorus. Robin Ticciati and the SRSO are joined by a sterling cast of soloists including: Stephan Loges, winner of the Wigmore Hall International Song Competition, Veronique Gens, whose recording of Berlioz"' Les nuits d"'été was named Gramophone "'Editor"'s Choice"', Yann Beuron, who was unanimously awarded first prize in 1996 from the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique de Paris, and Alistair Miles, who has been called "'the finest British bass of his generation"' (The Guardian). Berlioz"'s mighty oratorio was an immediate success and was praised by all but two critics in the Paris newspapers; over 150 years later it is still as popular. Named one of the top ten young "'conductors on the verge of greatness"' by Gramophone, Robin delivers fresh insights and vivid colours into this luminous work. Since his recording debut Robin"'s profile has continued to build; in 2011 Gramophone voted him one of "'Tomorrow"'s Icons"' and he was announced as the next music director of Glyndebourne, taking over from Vladimir Jurowski in 2014. .
