Berlioz’ Symphonie fantastique
October 26, 2012
Andrés Orozco-Estrada, conductor
William VerMeulen, horn
Berlioz: Symphonie fantastique
One of the pillars of the symphonic repertoire, Symphonie fantastique brings you to a new world of sound, where images morph into music. Follow a young musician, afflicted by unrequited love and flooded with romantic passion. As he drifts from one fantastic dreamscape to another, obsessed by the image of his beloved, you’ll follow him from the tumult of a grand ball, to the peaceful contemplation of nature, and finally to his plunge into delirium in a sinister witch’s sabbath. |
