Berlioz - Best of - COMPACT DISCS [CD]
About This Item
- Details
- Genre: Classical
- Description: Way ahead of his time, misunderstood, and a rebel. It is difficult to believe, as we hail Beethoven's achievements, that the great German composer had only been dead three years when Berlioz wrote the erotic Symphonie Fantastique. It was not progress, it was a quantum leap forward for music. Yet he was often shunned, the size and scope of such operas as The Trojans totally alien to those who were still trying to come to terms with the comparative conservatism of Beethoven's Fidelio. Just imagine Brahms was not yet born! This disc is the ideal way to appreciate just how great and significant was his music. From the boisterous Roman Carnival Overture, to the chilling March to the Scaffold, here is the very best of Berlioz. It is presented in outstanding performances, many from the partial cycle of Berlioz made for Naxos by the virtuoso orchestra from San Diego. And it even contains a novelty to titillate those who think they know a lot about Berlioz, with the Rêverie et Caprice, a work of stunning beauty for violin and orchestra. Album Tracks 1. Le Carnaval Romain Ov, Op 9 2. Sym Fantastique, Op. 14 A Ball 3. Sym Fantastique, Op. 14 March to the Scaffold 4. Harold en Italie, Op 16 Ser of a Mountaineer in the Abruzzi T O His Mistress 5. Les Troyens Royal Hunt and Storm 6. Rrie Et Caprice, Op 8 7. Romet Juliette Scherzo, Queen Mab 8. Romet Juliette Love Scene 9. La Damnation de Faust Marche Hongrooise (Rczy March)

Thriller explores similar genres to those of Off The Wall, including pop, post-disco, rock and funk. Recording sessions took place on April to November 1982 at Westlake Recording Studios in Los Angeles with a production budget of $750, 000, assisted by producer Quincy Jones.
