Title: An inspirational performance!
Product review: There are some music you listen to again and again, yet it somehow fails to move you, not because the music is bad, because of the way it is performed. Then, comes along a conductor whose depth of appreciation of the music matches its inspiration. Suddenly your eyes are opened and the music flowers. This performance of Symphonie fantastique by Abbado & Chicago SO is one of such rare occasions, where the music is presented in such a inspirational way that it captivates you from the first bar to the last. Abbado lets the music flow eloquently, achieving the perfect balance between noble control and expressive freedom, without vulgar exaggeration which so many conductors fall into.
