About This Song

About "La damnation de Faust, H. 111, Pt. 1 : La damnation de Faust, H. 111, Pt. 1: No. 3, Marche hongroise" by Radio Symphonie Orchester Berlin

Fricsay conducts the 'Marche hongroise' from Berlioz's Damnation de Faust with febrile intensity. The Radio-Symphonie-Orchester Berlin conjures a Hungarian march that swaggers and menaces, its festive brass masking a diabolical undertow. The tension between pomp and peril is palpable, a prelude to Faust's doomed bargain.
