Music reviews of Berlioz: Symphonie fantastique Op14; Damnation of Faust Op24
Music Review: Take a look at the whole picture
Rating: 5 Stars
This is an excellent performance of an overplayed Symphony. Despite some sluggish moments, the playing is overall as to be expected from Karajan and the BPO. I've heard Munch, Beecham, and Clutyens recordings of this piece of music, and to my ears, this one is up there with them, for sheer clarity and good sounding execution. Some might complain it isn't "the best" out there, and there indeed might be better versions, but try to find an orchestra and conductor that play like this today and you will face a near impossible task. The witches sabbath and 3rd movement are my favorites, and the added selections from the Damnation of Faust are played well, as well. A very nice intro to this piece, and a recording of interest for Karajan and Berlioz fans.
