Awards and reviews
March 2010
…a dramatic, almost operatic performance of Berlioz's post-Byronic symphony-concerto… Jean-Éric Soucy exhibits a stronger personality than some more famous Harolds on record. …Cambreling proves himself a born Berliozian, bringing to fresh life the composer's characteristically bold colours, restless cross-rhythms and daring metrical layerings, before driving the Roman Carnival-esque Brigands's Orgy to a truly Allegro frenetico finish.
