Just as original is the amazing orchestration Berlioz creates. It is hard to believe that it´s only a few years between Beethoven´s 9th and the Fantastique. Berlioz really seems to come from another planet. And I would say that to really "see" Berlioz orchestration in all its colorful glory you need period instruments. Try Marc Minkowski with the Musicien Du Louvre. Not only do they play very, very well but the sound quality from a live concert is fantastic.Antonio Jereznoreply@blogger.com
