[Pre Order] Sir Colin Davis - Berlioz: Symphonie fantastique - Decca Pure Analogue LP *

Release Date: October 2, 2026

Decca Pure Analogue Series — 180-Gram Vinyl, All-Analogue Cut From The Original Two-Track Tapes

Sir Colin Davis's exhilarating 1974 account of the Symphonie fantastique has remained a prime recommendation since its first release. His affinity with Berlioz is now the stuff of legend, and his understanding of the composer's unique orchestral practices is amply demonstrated here.

All the individual qualities of Berlioz's orchestration are unapologetically realized by Davis's supreme musicianship. He is a true champion of the French composer's work, and this outstanding version rightly deserves the high praise it has received over the years.
