Berlioz: Symphonie Fantastique

On March 28^th-30^th, 2008 the charismatic conductor Gustavo Dudamel returned to Walt Disney Concert Hall to lead the Los Angeles Philharmonic for the first time since the announcement a year before that he would succeed Esa-Pekka Salonen as music director of the orchestra in 2009. Those concerts included what the Los Angeles Times dubbed ”a fabulous, in-your-face” account of Berlioz’s Symphonie fantastique complete with “the full, highly charged, dripping-with-color Dudamel treatment.” On Tuesday, May 27^th a recording of this performance will be released on the DG Concerts imprint from Deutsche Grammophon, available exclusively at the iTunes Music Store. This is the second recording of the 2007-08 season from the LA Philharmonic for DG Concerts.
