Robin Ticciati’s Berlioz recordings have received many accolades: Critics' Choice 'Sound of 2012' (The Independent), 'Classical CD of the Week' (Sunday Times), 'Disc of the Week' (BBC Radio 3 'CD Review'), No. 3 in The Sunday Times’ Best Classical Albums of 2012 list and ‘Recording of the Month’ (Gramophone).
Ticciati cements his reputation as an outstanding Berliozian with his latest recording, L’enfance du Christ, featuring the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra and Chorus.
Ticciati is a regular guest conductor of the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra, widely considered to be one of Europe’s leading orchestras. The SRSO has won many Swedish and international awards including a GRAMMY and has made several GRAMMY-nominated recordings.
The SRSO Chorus are a phenomenal ensemble; one of the best large-scale choruses in Europe.
Berlioz:
L'Enfance du Christ, Op. 25
"Ticciati avoids any longeurs or clumsy transitions between the tableaux, taking the Shepherds' Farewell at a true allegretto, thereby making the slower, final verse all the more poignant...The highlight, though, is the exquisite singing of the lady angels"
Gramophone Magazine - December 2013
"Ticciati’s direction of the score is very sure footed; he conveys the nuances of this very subtle score and he also puts across its spirit very well....this set offers further evidence of [his] impressive credentials as a Berlioz interpreter."
MusicWeb International - 16th December 2013
"Beuron, still probably France's finest lyric tenor, a compelling Recitant with open, ardent tones and warm delivery...Miles is a splendidly anguished but restrained Herod and benign Ishmaelite, singing decent French...Ticciati's conducting is warm and vivid, and his textures translucent."
BBC Music Magazine - December 2013 ****
"The Swedish Radio Choir sings with terrific gusto...Right from the opening bars, with those strange, harmonium-like sonorities that the woodwind produce, you have complete confidence that Ticciati understands the Berlioz hinterland...a first-rate, affecting performance and a timely seasonal release"
The Telegraph - 5th December 2013 *****
