The Brilliant enriches its catalog with one of the best versions ever made of the Damnation of Faust, a “dramatic legend” written by Hector Berlioz based on Goethe's Faust. Originally published by Denon in the late 1980s and out of catalog for many years, this edition of Berlioz's classic is performed by a cast of first-rate soloists, including among others Maria Ewing, Dénes Gulyás, Robert Lloyd and the young Christiane Oelze, and is conducted by the great Israeli conductor Eliahu Inbal, who at that time reached the peak of his career, performing with the
Frank Radio Symphony Orchestra the legendary complete of Gustav Mahler's symphonies edited by Denon. This edition of Faust's Damnation also stands out for its excellent sound quality.
