Berlioz: Roman Carnival Overture - Mengelberg/Concertgebouw

[MrAndieMusik]

This is the very best Berlioz ever composed. Only then does follow Symphonie Fantastique.

@MrAndieMusik A big maybe, at best, to that.

@2ndviolinist De gustibus non est disputandum. Yet, I confess, I'm far from being well versed in the life-work of Berlioz. But the magnificent tune of Le Carnaval Romain is often ringing in my ear. My only regret is that it's very hard to whistle.

I pick Mengelberg! Precision, beauty, strings, brass....

@57YL3 The only weakness to me is the oboe sound. Thanks for listening.
