          Harold in Italy (the original title is Harold en Italie) by Hector Berlioz is another favourite work of mine, I discovered it in this way.


          Childe Harold's Pilgrimage, by William Turner, Italy, 1832

          The background

          In 1830 Berlioz had written his most famous composition, the Symphonie
          Fantastique.

          Then, after winning the Prix de Rome, a composition award given by the Paris Conservatoire, he spent fifteen months in Italy, between 1831 and 1832. And this stay had a long lasting influence on Berlioz, especially evident in Harold in Italy.
