In Reply to: What's Your Take On Paray's Reading Of Berlioz: Symphony Fantastique? posted by Robertc88 on October 18, 2005 at 03:53:17:
I've always leaned more towards the classicism espoused by Colin Davis in this work, but the Paray, while much more whipped up and frentic, is an amazing performance. Great playing, too, and the recording is sharp. Highly recommended.
