"Symphony" by name only (oh, yeah, and by having more than one movement), this work sounds EXACTLY like Liszt's other "Symphonic Poems". It is a large scale "mood piece" based primarily upon "evoking an image" -- of Dante's Inferno (i.e., Hell) in this case. All of the works on this CD/SACD are dedicated to either Wagner or Berlioz, and this is apt both in their spirit and execution.

I found that the recording required (and could handle well) a LOT of volume on my system -- much more than almost any other recording I have played within memory (you know, one of those "volume knob at 11:00 AM instead of the usual 9:00 AM position" things. Nice soundstage at that volume...not narrow.

I think of Liszt's orchestral works along the lines of Bruch and some of the lesser Russian symphonists. Take off the "serious hat" one usually wears for Beethoven, Bruckner or Mahler and there is a great deal to enjoy, even if only occasionally.
