- Sir Colin Davis revisits Berlioz' Roméo et Juliette for a reading that has become deeper and more profound in the years since his analogue recording of 1968. THis new DDD recording features the Vienna Philharmonic in this work which Berlioz called "a symphony and not an opera" where the singers and the chorus often comment on the drama that is created mostly by the orchestra.
