Berlioz: Overture 'King Lear'

Berlioz: Overture 'King Lear'


Live at the BBC Proms: The Hallé under Mark Elder

Berlioz's King Lear overture was admired by the King of Hanover: 'How you have portrayed [Cordelia] - her humility and tenderness! It is heart-rending, and so beautiful!'



**** Note ****

This video clip is taken from a longer performance by the Halle (which can be found as a separate torrent under my name). It only contains the Berlioz piece.
