Symphonie Fantastique - Lelio

Symphonie Fantastique - Lelio

Recorded in 2010 during Riccardo Muti's first subscription concerts as the Chicago Symphony Orchestra's tenth music director, this new double-CD release pairs Hector Berlioz's beloved Symphonie fantastique with its sequel, LÃ©lio, ou le retour de la vie (LÃ©lio, or The Return to Life). Berlioz intended Symphonie fantastique to be followed by LÃ©lio in concert, as the artist returns to life to comment anew on music and art. Maestro Muti and the CSO are joined in LÃ©lio by the acclaimed actor GÃ©rard Depardieu as the narrator, tenor Mario Zeffiri, bass-baritone Kyle Ketelsen, and the Chicago Symphony Chorus. With the "conclusion and complement" of Symphonie fantastique, as Berlioz referred to LÃ©lio, this recording increases listeners' familiarity with the music of a daring and revolutionary composer.
