DIEGO, DUNN AND BERLIOZ

Symphonie fantastique

fantastique1

    This picture accompanied a large-size advert for the Farnsworth radios and Farnsworth phonograph-radios published in 1946, a copy of which is in our own collection. A hand-written note on a corner of the page indicates that it may have been inserted in the 17 June 1946 issue of the Life. The original painting by Julio de Diego was at the time of publication in the Capehart Collection.

    We provided a scanned image of this picture to the Scottish Chamber Orchestra at their request for the publicity poster for their performance of Symphonie fantastique, which was also later used as the cover image of the CD of its live recording.
