Berlioz / Wiener Symphoniker / Jordan - Symphonie Fantastique - Music CD

On the occasion of the 150th anniversary of Hector Berlioz's death, the Vienna Symphony Orchestra and it's chief conductor Philippe Jordan dedicated a programmatic focus to the French composer in the 2018-19 season. In this context, in November 2018, Philippe Jordan presented the frequently performed Symphonie fantastique op. 14 in the Wiener Musikverein, and her rarely heard sister work Llio ou Le retour la vie op. 14b. The acclaimed concert experience now also appears as a live recording on the orchestra's own label. Soloists include not only tenor Cyrille Dubois and baritone Florian Sempey, but also the acclaimed French bass Jean-Philippe Lafonte as narrator and the Singverein led by Johannes Prinz.
