Music reviews of Berlioz: Symphonie Fantastique, Op.14/Romeo & Juliet, Op.17La Damnation De Faust, Op.24
Music Review: A terrific bargain
Rating: 5 Stars
Seraphim's release of Andre Cluytens Berlioz SYMPHONIE FANTASTIQUE with the Philharmonia Orchestra is a terrific bargain! For under $5.00, the listener gets a great recording of Berlioz revolutionary 1830 symphony, actually a tone poem/Tableux in 5 movements, very different from the symphonies Beethoven was writing just 15 years prior. Cluytens takes a Romantic view of the symphony, and his excellence in French music shines: paired with London's Philharmonia orchestra, the results are excellent.
Giulini's Chicago ROMEO AND JULIET excerpts are also highly recommendable; my only gripe is that all of them aren't included in this recording. However, we must be thankful for what IS offered here.
Almost anything conducted by Sir John Barbirolli (1899-1970) is recommendable in many circles (save for his Dvorak Symphonies, which are compromised by inferior sound, according to reviews I've read in AMERICAN RECORD GUIDE), and these excerpts from "Le Damnation de Faust" are no exception. Very fine playing and interpretations, although he keeps the reins in for the "Rackokzy March", but the music is racous enough without going "over the top."
Over 70 minutes of music for under $5.00, well recorded and played. Recommended.
