La damnation de Faust, H 111

by Hector Berlioz

Berlioz' operatic masterpiece is now performed regularly in concert halls worldwide, despite the poor reception received at it Paris premiere in 1846. This is a new, digitally-enhanced, corrected reprint of the score originally issued in 1911 by Costallat & Cie., Paris. Charles Malherbe prepared the piano reduction to serve as a companion vocal score for the full score issued as part of the Berlioz Complete edition - ultimately left incomplete thanks in part to Malherbe's passing in the very year this score was issued. This very readable A4-sized vocal score will be appreciated by performers, students and Berlioz aficionados everywhere.
