Presented by Palazzetto Bru Zane: Symphonie Fantastique

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

Sir Roger Norrington explore l'histoire de « la première œuvre vraiment romantique de l’Histoire » et confie son expérience d'interprète de l'œuvre.

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.
