Sir John Eliot Gardiner, conductor
Сэр Джон Элиот Гардинер - великий дирижер. Желаю ему долгих лет жизни. С 80-летием!
It has a very unique sound. A sound in between vintage and modern. Over all though, the interpretations are true and I noticed lots of harmony between the orchestra and the conductor. Real nice.
I'm just marking this for myself:
52:17 is where Symphonie Fantastique starts with the first movement
1:06:38 is the second movement
1:12:50 is the third movement
1:28:52 is the fourth movement
1:35:19 is the fifth movement
Amazing ! Amazing! Amazing performance!
Wunderbar! 😊
На мой взгляд, это ЛУЧШЕЕ исполнение "Фантастической" симфонии Гектора Берлиоза.
Браво, оркестр и сэр Джон Элиот Гардинер!👍👏👏👏
Maravilloso
I want to know what kind of bells they were using! They sound amazing.
39:35 Like this part with female string players enthusiatically substituting the role of the missing chorus
Anachronism révélateur de notre remps: célébrer Berlioz à Versailles
Was this the infamous concert where Sir John slapped a young tenor? 😂
Bass, William Thomas.
...and then there was waddling
some entitled rich prolls letting their stuff hang out over the balconies... 7:45
I try to like Berlioz outside of the Symphonie Fantastique. I listened to lots of his stuff but I can't help but think that either I'm stupid, or this guy was just an amateur pretending to be a genius.
Yes, you're stupid. But it is amusing to see a 19th-century view of Berlioz by the academics and other jealous musicians alive again in 2024! To each his or her own, of course, but since it is obvious you are some kind of Wagner fanatic, your musical starting point is already biased. (Wasn't it Rossini that said “Wagner has wonderful moments, but dreadful quarters of an hour.”? I agree...). Your ear seems the only amateur thing here, trying to masquerade as actual musically critical intelligence.
Try the love scene in Romeo & Juliette (for Toscanini the most beautiful music ever) or maybe some of the songs (Nuit d'ivresse in Les Troyens, the Summer Nights cycle). If those don't work, well....
Quel massacre, quelle honte, quelle insulte à 😫Berlioz. Des fanfares de sous-préfecture !

Bro, what? They're on period instruments. It's hardly bad at all. It's actually quite amazing. If you're used to only the newer renditions, I'd suggest listening to more historically informed performances.
