Berlioz: Rom駮 Et Juliette (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780521377676)

Berlioz's "dramatic symphony" Rom駮 et Juliette is regarded by many as his finest work; it is certainly among the most original. This book summarizes the complex genesis of the work before examining the music closely and always with a view to understanding its dramatic implications. Julian Rushton quotes and discusses the early and later critical reception and concludes by suggesting a way of hearing the work that recognizes the value of its mixed genre. The complete libretto is provided in both English and French.
