Description

A highlight of Dutoit's acclaimed Berlioz cycle with the Orchestre Symphonique de Montréal, this Decca recording brings characteristic transparency and color to one of Berlioz's most dramatic works. Gilles Cachemaille delivers a memorably sardonic Méphistophélès, and Decca's engineering is superb throughout. A strong, desirable account for Berlioz enthusiasts and Dutoit cycle collectors alike.

This is a used CD. The disc and case have been inspected and are in good condition. Broken or damaged jewel cases will be replaced before dispatch.
