Susan Graham is currently being celebrated for her masterful interpretation of Didon in Berlioz' LES TROYENS so it is interesting to return to this 1997 all Berlioz recording made with John Nelson and the Orchestra of the Royal Opera House. The highlight is naturally the incomparably beautiful song cycle & nuits d'été & and that sensuous glow in Graham's voice which was there in abundance for this recording has blossomed even more

Les nuits d'été (Summer Nights), Op. 7, is a song cycle by the French composer Hector Berlioz. It is a setting of six poems by Théophile Gautier. The cycle, completed in 1841, was originally for soloist and piano accompaniment. Berlioz orchestrated one of the songs in 1843, and did the same for the other five in 1856. The cycle was neglected for many years, but during the 20th century it became, and has remained, one of the composer's most popular works.
