For some inexplicable reason this wonderful Berlioz Overture is rarely played. Too bad concert promoters can't be a bit more adventurous. As an example, at this year's (2014) BBC London Proms season "Le Corsaire" is featured twice but no other Berlioz overture is performed. What nonsense is this!
This overture is simply pleasing to the ear! Keep up with the posting!
I agree with "elberliozano", I love that section 2:51-5:05 too!
