Title: The worst reading imaginable! (Hopefully)
Product review: This is the most ponderous reading of this piece that has ever been recorded. Although it is texturally and sonically rich, those qualities are insufficient to redeem its ponderous plodding pace. That the musicians were able to maintain a consistant sound and tempo throughout is a testimony to their professional ability; however it is certainly laborious for the listener to pay attention to the music from start to finish, and it is not possible to aurally realize Berlioz's program notes for the piece from it. This reading leaves one wanting something more than was provided.
