Three musical visionaries on one CD. Mariss Jansons interprets Hector Berlioz's "Symphonie fantastique" and "Ionisation" by Edgard Varèse. Following the Beethoven box, with its juxtaposition of classical and contemporary works, the current CD with Mariss Jansons and the Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks again features an encounter between music from different epochs. In the "Symphonie fantastique" Mariss Jansons, Chief Conductor of the Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks, investigates the dream worlds of the Romantic movement, and in "Ionisation" by Edgard Varèse transforms complex structures into an event of sensual immediacy. Both these works were important starting-points for the dawn of a new musical age.
The Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks are renowned interpreters of avante garde music.
An exciting juxtaposition of works from the Romantic and Modern eras.

“just about the finest available version of Varèse's stealthy, foot-tapping all-percussion Ionisation...Jansons keeps her steady as she goes and the recorded balance is well-nigh perfect. So if the Varèse is your priority, I wouldn't hesitate.” Gramophone
