Description

|
"All I have suffered … the loves, labours, the bereavements of my youth," is how Berlioz described his revolutionary Symphonie fantastique. No wonder Colin Davis once called him "the only, the first, last, and only real Romantic." Also recorded live in 1952 is Satie's humorous, whimsical Parade. "A sparkling performance…. Markevitch displays an unexpected fluidity of tempo … in Reveries, Passions, and Un Bal, as well as the Witches’ Sabbath. In this last Markevitch generates tremendous heat … so much so that it does not dissipate at the closing chord—which Markevitch underscores by keeping the percussion rolling until the tones fade away."—Classics Today
