Tugan Sokhiev conducts Berlioz’ “Symphonie fantastique”

We look at Peter Grimes and other works inspired by the sea.

Berlioz had a rather trying time while he was composing Symphonie fantastique. Here, we take a look at his amorous obsessions. 

Sir Roger Norrington erforscht die Geschichte „die erste wahre romantische Partitur der Geschichte” und erzählt von seinen Erfahrungen mit der Symphonie.

Gareth Davies, Principal Flute of the London Symphony Orchestra, talks about the furious scramble to keep up with Colin Davis performing Berlioz’s great hallucinatory symphony.
