Romantic madness depicted with dramatic architectural beauty
A monument to classical music, where magnificent orchestration embodies a world of fantasy.
The performance by the Hague Philharmonic Orchestra under the baton of Willem van Otterloo is colorful and dynamic. The passion and madness that Berlioz put into the score are vividly brought to life through his meticulous baton. The power of the "March to the Scaffold" and the final movement is particularly impressive, and the high quality of the recording is also noteworthy.
