Anne Sofie Von Otter never disappoints.
And 🙏🌹😇

Solti was an outstanding conductor in spite of the fact that as a human being e individual person, he was dementially egotistical, absolutely self-centered and incredibly self indulgent and quite paranoid as a person.

Anne Sophie von Otter is the undisputable jewel of this concert version of Berlioz masterpiece.

Extraordinaria versión, probablemente la mejor que se pueda encontrar en youtube. ¡Muchas gracias!

A masterpiece poem written on a soft pentagram

ça manque un peu de souffle à la baguette, non?

[retepsnikrep]

Weird hands at mouths is a bit cringe!

[phillipvietri]

That Berlioz expected people to sit through such excessively long works says much about his extreme magalomania. That people actrually DO sit through them...well, I'm at something of a loss to understand what exactly this means.

Que c'est mou... Berlioz doit faire des moulinets dans sa tombe.
