Choral connections

Nicolas Kruger conducts the 大象传媒 Singers and pianist Anna Tilbrook in a performance of songs and choral music by Hector Berlioz. Live from St Paul's Church, Knightsbridge.

As part of 大象传媒 Radio 3鈥檚 celebration of one of the greatest composers of the Romantic period, Hector Berlioz. Nicolas Kruger conducts the 大象传媒 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 大象传媒 Singers as they celebrate the work of Berlioz, the bohemian composer.

Presented by Natasha Riordan.
