Jaap van Zweden Conducts Symphonie Fantastique

Berlioz’s passion-propelled <em>Symphonie fantastique</em> follows the artist-protagonist to a glittering ball, the march to the scaffold, and a demonic witches’ sabbath with music that dazzles with blazing orchestral colors and effects. A showcase for Augustin Hadelich (“there was no feat he couldn’t master,” <em>Cincinnati Enquirer</em>), Sibelius’s radiant Violin Concerto evokes a pristine Nordic landscape.
