Choeurs et Orchestre de l’Opera de Lyon, John Nelson
"The freshness and clarity of John Nelson's account of the score brings out all the mercurial wit of Berlioz's sunny reworking of Much Ado About Nothing. Acclaimed Berlioz interpreter Susan Graham's light, bright mezzo is ideal for the blithe and bonny heroine, and the little-known French tenor Jean-Luc Viala is a perfect sparring-partner." - Katherine Cooper, Presto Classical, March 2014.
