In this album, \"Romeo and Juliet\" and \"Cleopatra's Death\" have been chosen, and as before, Joyce DiDonato, the world's queen of mezzos, deploys her extraordinary vocal abilities, from the stunning low register to the boldly projected high notes, to represent the supreme tragic works with passionate intensity and delicacy. The work is a masterpiece of passionate intensity and delicacy. John Nelson said of the work, \"In a word, originality!.... He has broken with all existing traditions in orchestration, structure, harmony, language, and narrative. His music is fresh and surprises us with its unspeakable beauty.\" In this performance, the soloist and Strasbourg Philharmonic Berlioz not only brought back the colors as intended, but also found another side to the music that had not been there before with the utmost dynamics and agility and attention to various parts. The interpretation is a 21st century one that finds another side of the music that has not been there before.The concert held during the recording was acclaimed for \"John Nelson's ability to oversee the augmented Strasbourg Philharmonic Orchestra with maximum enthusiasm and sensitivity,\" and for \"encountering a vivid and searing intensity never before seen in the orchestra.
