About This Song
About "La Damnation de Faust, Op. 24 / Part 2 : Berlioz: La Damnation de Faust, Op. 24 / Part 2: Choeur de soldats: "Villes entourées de murs et de remparts"" by Daniel Barenboim
The soldiers' chorus marches with sturdy unison, Berlioz painting martial pride in bold strokes. Barenboim elicits a robust, almost defiant sound, yet the music's swagger carries a hint of desperation. These are walls and ramparts as much psychological as physical—a community's fragile bulwark against the chaos Faust will unleash.
