About "Berlioz: La belle Isabeau, H. 94" by Anne Sofie Von Otter
Berlioz's 'La belle Isabeau' is a medieval fever dream, Von Otter a storyteller at a dying fire. The voice flickers between terror and tenderness as the tale of the wolf and the maiden unfolds. The orchestration is a dark forest: beautiful, ancient, and waiting to swallow you whole.
