Renaissance Italy, the grand shores of Sicily, the winds from the sea and war epics, the battles of wits in courts where lords and artists develop a common way of life... With this return to sources, Berlioz created a work that reflected him – caustic and tender, sublime and grotesque, sensitive and powerfully lyrical – and one of the most beautiful compositions of the genre.
