Title: The Wizard of Berlioz
Product review: To mark it simply - one does not need to listen to the bonus track here [#6, 'Berlioz Takes a Trip'] to realise that mr Bernstein's appraisal of this work is naught but perfect. And when one puts together a great work, a great orchestra and a great conductor - who at the same time has full control of music and musicians alike - the result is this, an album one simply cannot pass without. Berlioz's struggle with insanity, as mr Bernstein puts it, contrasts greatly with the maestro's firm, stalwart conducting hand. Bernstein then promenades through the symphony's five movements as if he were a head-shrink visiting his loonies in a sickbay, while we're left to fall madly in love with this rendition of Hector Berlioz's 'trip'.
