La Chambre Philharmonique with Michèle Losier

The background to Berlioz' great song cycle Les Nuits d’été with a musical analysis and playlist

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.
