"I do own this LP you refer to. I find it similar to other recordings by Solti that I've owned. He has a penchant for excessive pointing and overblown theatrics, coupled with a charmless demeanor throughout and an amazing lack of insight into the music itself."
I guess we'll agree to disagree on this one. I think Solti understood the underlying story to the "Fantastique" like no other....
A great example of this is the brief clarinet call prior to the "Scaffold" (guillotine) coming down..... The clarinet in that performance "wails" in Berlioz' final apologetic call to his beloved, the "Harriet Smithson" theme that occurs throughout the work. In most other performances, the clarinet merely plays the notes, with seemingly little purpose.
