Description:
The genesis of the oratorio is an adventurous one: the nucleus of the three-part work were numbers from the middle section, "Flight into Egypt", which Berlioz composed on a whim in 1850 and subordinated to a baroque composer he had invented. In 1854, the triptych, supplemented by the sections "The Dream of Herod" and "The Arrival in Sais", had its celebrated premiere. Based on the Gospel of Matthew, Berlioz chose a different perspective on the events of Christmas with the visit of the Magi to Herod and the flight of the Holy Family to Egypt. A skilful dramatization, weighty instrumental parts such as the independent trio for two flutes and harp as well as effective choruses with local colour make this "sacred trilogy" a rewarding addition to the repertoire for Christmas music-making. The score, printed in 1855, was based on a German translation by Peter Cornelius. The critical Carus edition offers a new translation by Klaus Kreuser, which is based more on the French original than Cornelius's text and avoids an overly romanticized idyll.
