I’ve listened to this symphony more times in my life than I care to admit and this is my favorite recording, by far.

00:05 - I. Rêveries - Passions (Daydreams - Passions)
14:05 - II. Un bal (A ball)
20:47 - III. Scène aux champs (Scene in the Country)
36:32 - IV. Marche au supplice (March to the Scaffold)
41:48 - V.a Songe d'une nuit de sabbat (Dream of a Witches' Sabbath)
44:41 - V.b Ophicleide giving it all with the 'Dies Irae'

[MusicDie]

The instrument between the tuba and trombones is called the bass ophicleide, the actual instrument that Berlioz intended to use for the "Dies Irae" part of the final (Witch's Sabbath) movement.  It's like a brass instrument, but has keys and hole openings like a saxophone.  The instrument is rarely seen in performance, a second tuba is usually substituted for it.

This instrumental drama actually represents an autobiographical fragment in relation with Berlioz's love for Harriet Smithson. It is a great masterpiece and such a grandiose rendition!!

This is by far the best performance in the best sound quality over TIDAL and Spotify. No performances even comes close😮😎

Best interpretation by far. An absolute masterpiece of colors, tempi, details and phrasing. Unmatched.

[joanbatet]

Sublime inspiration of an opium consumer.

[lucianomorales]

[theadoresmith]

[francerafalebd]

Belle interprétation de cette page magistrale. Notons la rareté, l'emploi d'un ophycleide.

[loganfruchtman]

You know the title is right becuase this symphony is really fantastic.

[Faze_vorderline]

Que obra de arte, ojalá más videos como este!

[marcellodantedealmeidanune]

Berlioz nos transporta nessa bela e avançada sinfonia ao universo mítico do Pintor e gravurista espanhol Francisco de Goya, atormentado artista que retratou um universo macabro de bruxas e torturas mentais. Simplesmente incrível!!! É uma de minhas sinfonias favoritas daquele período. Parabéns ao canal por disponibilizá-la.

[marcellodantedealmeidanune]

Fantástico. Uma obra prima!!!! Berlioz, um gênio muito avançado para seu tempo!!! Mariss e a Bavarian Symphony nota dez; Estão ótimos!!
