There is a wonderful version of Les Nuits d'été, sung by Veronique Gens that is well worth hearing. |
I am unsure if David is into Berlioz. I cannot imagine he does not appreciate the influence of Beethoven on The Symphonie Fantastique, though Berlioz’s originality shines in that as well - he went, if you will, somewhat where LVB never went for whatever reason.
For me, this is sublime:
(mostly good production IMO - though I have seen it with church bells - actually, I saw the 1812 outside one time when the condutor used what appeared to be all the churches in town
-- needless to say the entire audience burst into tears mostly in unison )
Almost Wagnerian isn't it - did I just say that
