The Symphonie Fantastique is one of my favourite orchestral works. As a result, I have multiple recordings, Beecham, Davis, Gardiner, to name a few. The Munch is up there with the best and the transfer is top notch too. I've thoroughly enjoyed listening to it and recommend it wholeheartedly.

This is an amazingly good recording of extraordinary orchestral music played magnificently. I don’t think I’ve heard a better recording of an orchestra. Textures are clear top to bottom. The detail of the percussion is wonderful—no blurring of different types of drum strikes. The edge and bite of the brass is sometimes breathtaking. The transient response often shocks: for instance the bell strikes in the witch’s sabbath. This recording is a treasure.
