Guerrero Conducts Berlioz

Giancarlo Guerrero conducts Berlioz's dramatic Symphonie fantastique.

In 1827, Berlioz saw the Irish actress Harriet Smithson playing Ophelia in Shakespeare's Hamlet. He fell madly in love with Smithson, and with Shakespeare too.

He set about proving it in a symphony that would give birth to his own unique and uncompromising musical language - passionate, witty, enraged, high-spirited, sardonic, tormented and proud.

The Symphonie fantastique was born, and it eventually won Hector Berlioz the heart of Harriet Smithson as well.

Supported by Palazzetto Bru Zane - Centre de musique romantique française.
