“Rattle displays the easy lyricism one might anticipate, but more power and atmosphere - Berlioz grandioso. Cléopâtre is also a big-screen performance. Mezzo-soprano Susan Graham, today's reigning Dido, makes Berlioz's earlier heroine equally epic… it's a welcome coupling.”
- BBC Music
“The opening ‘Rêveries - Passions’ is one of the great musical expressions of sexual infatuation, one that Sir Simon Rattle shapes well… The Berlin soloists make a gorgeous sounds, the lead clarinet and cor anglais especially… La mort de Cléopâtre is… prime-cut Berlioz, outrageously advanced for its time (1827-30). Rattle obviously relishes the music's ghostly aura, much as he focuses the pre-Roméo atmosphere near the start of the "Scène lyrique". Susan Graham enacts the music's drama with a sense of theatre and a frequently rich tone, especially in the ‘Meditation.’”
