...calls and horses galloping, the ensuing storm is one of the best nature evocations I have ever heard, perfectly capturing the violence of the storm, bouts of hail, gushes of wind, lightning, and thunder rolls. And when the chorus enters the ensuing mayhem is almost unparalleled in music. Ironically, this was about the only scene that Parisian audiences liked in the ill-fated production, but Berlioz was not able to use it due to the time it took to change sets for this one sequence.
