麻豆社

As part of 麻豆社 Radio 3鈥檚 celebration of one of the greatest composers of the Romantic period, Hector Berlioz. Nicolas Kruger conducts the 麻豆社 Singers in a concert of songs and choral music by Berlioz. The Romantic Movement promoted nature and the liberation of the emotions, this is reflected in the composer鈥檚 choral music. From the striking and dramatic La belle Isabeau: conte pendant l'orage to one of Berlioz's most lyrical and passionate works Irlande (Neuf m茅lodies), inspired by Thomas Moore鈥檚 poetry, there is considerable intensity of emotion and depth of feeling. Join the 麻豆社 Singers as they celebrate the work of Berlioz, the bohemian composer.

Presented by Natasha Riordan.
