About "Berlioz: Overture "Le carnaval romain", Op. 9" by Berliner Philharmoniker
Le carnaval romain is a overture that spins like a masqueradeâbrass fanfares, scurrying strings, a saltarello that never quite settles. Berlioz captures the giddiness of a festival with a shadow of exhaustion beneath, joy and unease locked in a dizzying dance.
