Harold in Italy is a symphony with a prominent solo viola part. It was composed for and commissioned by Paganini, who never played it because the viola solos weren't flashy enough for him (Harold actually takes poison and dies in the finale, leaving the orchestra to finish without him). Though disappointed, Berlioz was mollified by the fact that Paganini paid him anyway. It's since become the composer's most frequently performed large orchestral work, first because there's so little good music for solo viola, and second because it's well within the financial resources of most orchestras, the instrumentation being substantial but not ridiculous. This budget-priced performance is both loving and expert, while the couplings are well-chosen. --David Hurwitz
