About
Roméo et Juliette is counted third among Berlioz’s four symphonies. Another uniquely constructed work, it moves away from the purely symphonic towards the realm of opera. But Berlioz keeps the formal structure of a symphony firmly in his mind: the three principal instrumental sections – Fête chez Capulet, Scène d’amour, and La reine Mab – making a first movement, slow movement and scherzo encircled by elaborate vocal sections to begin and end.
Recordings:
- Live studio broadcast on 7 March 1957 (Lélio)
- BBC studio recording broadcast on 6 January 1956 (Roméo et Juliette)
