Boston Symphony Orchestra, Charles Munch. Berlioz: Symphonie Fantastique.

Charles Munch's overwhelming natural affinity with French music made him an ideal conductor for Berlioz's swirling tour de force Symphonie Fantastique. The Lewis Layton/Richard Mohr recording from 1962 perfectly captures the drama and romance of this piece. Track Listing 1. Reveries: Passions 2. A Ball 3. Scenes in the Country 4. March to the Scaffold 5. Dream of a Witches' Sabbath. Munch's view of the piece is more volatile and exciting than Colin Davis's classically oriented version, befitting Berlioz's opium-induced nightscape. Under Munch, the Bostonians were among the world's best orchestras and they sound it here, the strings absolutely radiant, the winds and brass as good. The "March to the Scaffold," with its driving tympani and bold brass fanfares, has never sounded more engrossing, and the deep-toned bells in the "Witches Sabbath" are thrilling.

In the hands of Charles Munch and the Boston Symphony Orchestra, the acknowledged mid-twentieth century leaders of French music performance, it is predictably clear, light, airy, and utterly refined. In this superbly engineered transfer from a four track RCA analogue tape (1962) made in Boston's Symphony Hall, even in its richest instrumental sections, it literally floats before us, naturally warm and breathy. Low strings are especially present, well-defined, and full, grounding the work but without raising any Dionysian issues
