The era of Seiji Ozawa as principal conductor of the Boston Symphony Orchestra spanned an impressive 29 years - a period of unparalleled musical excellence. Even before officially taking office, Ozawa and his orchestra created a multi-faceted recording of Berlioz's Symphonie fantastique on Deutsche Grammophon that was praised by the New York Times as particularly 'light and mercurial'.
