The first and longest of course is the 1986 recording of Roméo et Juliette, Symphonie dramatique, Op. 17 with Ricardo Muti conducting the Philadelphia Orchestra, the Westminster Choir (prepared by Joseph Flummerfelt), and the impeccable Jessye Norman in one of her finest roles as Juliette. John Aler and Simon Estes round out the cast. The performance is radiant and Jessye Norman's delivery of her major contribution to this too seldom playe work. The other recording is from 1967 but was remastered in 1998 and it is a lushly beautiful performance of Les Nuits d'été, Op.

Berlioz's symphonie dramatique Roméo et Juliette contains some of the composer's most immediately appealing music, but it's rarely performed, perhaps because its form is so eccentric. Berlioz was fond of creating works that blurred or intermingled conventional genres and Roméo is a classic example: described as a symphony, but having a distinct, familiar narrative trajectory, using soloists and chorus, and giving a prominent role to vocal and choral recitative. One of the most striking aspects of this 1986 recording was the decision to cast soprano Jessye Norman in the part written for an alto, but it's an entirely apt choice.
