Review title: Look elsewhere for an exciting Fantastique
Product review: Sadly, this recording is another unexciting miss in a whole series of unexciting misses issued by DG in their Boulez series.The playing of the orchestra is impeccable, but the interpretation itself just sort of sits there. There's no forward momentum, nothing eerie, spooky or - well - fanatastic about the proceedings.Textual notes: Boulez omits the cornet part in the second movement and observes the unwritten DC al segno repeat at the double bar in the 4th movement.Skip this and pick up the Maazel/Cleveland/Sony version instead. A absolute overlooked gem of a recording that is everything this Boulez recording is not, and in much better recorded sound.Kudos for coupling the rarity to fill up the CD, but nobody is buying this CD for that rarity.
