Review CDs of the Year -- New York Times, (USA) Disc of the Year -- Financial Times, 15 December 2007 '... the combination of Davis, his responsive orchestra, and the French composer whose works he has done so much to champion, is irresistible ... another benchmark recording from LSO Live' -- MusicalCriticism.com, August 2007 'Davis worked his magic with Berlioz yet again ... Sir Colin assembled a fine cast of soloists ... choirs and orchestra sing and play superlatively' ***** -- Sunday Telegraph, 19 August 2007 `under Davis's loving direction, the spirit is wonderfully right...an interpretation of extraordinary tenderness' -- Sunday Times Product Description Described as a `sacred trilogy', Berlioz's oratorio L'enfance du Christ began as a short piece called Shepherds' Farewell. It tells the story of the birth of Jesus and the journey of the Holy Family as they escape Bethlehem and head across Egypt to the city of Saïs. Unlike many of the composer's more flamboyant works, it is an exquisite and gentle composition scored for relatively small forces.
