Description:

Igor Markevich, born in 1912 in Kiev, is one of the leading conductors of the 20th century. Although Markevich is known as a great master of Russian music, he is also a master of French music, and in the Berlioz recorded on this disc, he skillfully draws out a richly colorful sound from the orchestra. In the 1950s, when there were few recordings of Berlioz and his works other than the "Symphonie fantastique" were not well known, this is a historical masterpiece that made the true value of masterpieces such as "Faust's Eternal Punishment" and "Harold in Italia" known.
