It's good to hear this work once again since it's rarely performed in public
or over the radio stations.
The work is a major challenge and Davis acquits himself excellently.
This is a landmark recording and I hope more have a chance to listen to this.
Imagine a symphony without violins to be performed by an orchestra on the march!
Only Berlioz could do such a thing.
