This album released by Philharmonie Zuidnederland contains works by the Dutch composer Hendrik Andriessen and Hector Berlioz. A highlight of Andriessen's French influenced output has been chosen, the song cycle 'Miroir de peine' ('Mirror of Suffering', 1923), with its texts by Henri Gh�on sung in highly expressive fashion by the mezzosoprano Christianne Stotijn. The coupling is the 'Symphonie fantastique' by Berlioz, written at the end of a period of 'mental overheating' in his obsessive love for Harriet Constance Smithson.
