Mäkelä makes [Symphonie fantastique] sound remarkably fresh ... directing affairs assertively and sensitively, operating like a coiled spring, holding and releasing at critical moments. Every detail within the melee comes through, despite all hell breaking loose, giving the best cardio workout without actually going to the gym.
Dirigent Klaus Mäkelä und das Orchestre de Paris kombinieren auf dieser Decca-Classics-Aufnahme zwei wegweisende Werke des französischen Orchesterrepertoires: Hector Berlioz’ Symphonie fantastique und Maurice Ravels La valse. Die im Dezember 2024 live in der Philharmonie de Paris aufgenommene Symphonie fantastique nimmt schon lange einen besonderen Platz im Repertoire des Orchesters ein, der bis zu den Aufführungen und Einspielungen unter seinem ersten Musikdirektor Charles Munch zurückreicht.
Berlioz’ lebhaft dramatische Sinfonie folgt den Träumen, Leidenschaften und Halluzinationen eines verliebten Künstlers, während Ravels La valse die Eleganz des Wiener Walzers in ein schillerndes und zunehmend verstörendes Orchester-Glanzstück verwandelt. Ursprünglich für Diaghilews Ballets Russes konzipiert, setzt La valse zudem einen roten Faden durch Mäkeläs vorangegangene Aufnahmen mit dem Orchestre de Paris fort, die der Musik dieses berühmten Ensembles gewidmet waren.
Das Album folgt auf gefeierte Aufführungen von Mäkelä und dem Orchestre de Paris bei den BBC Proms, wo The Guardian ihre Symphonie fantastique als „elektrisierend“ beschrieb und The Arts Desk deren Finale als „den Höhepunkt von endlich etwas wahrhaft Außergewöhnlichem“ lobte.
