BERLIOZ “Symphonie fantastique”
In his “Symphonie fantastique,” the young Hector Berlioz bared his soul in music, torturing himself with passion — some might say obsession — for his beloved. Through tender love scenes, a thrilling march to the scaffold, and an opium-induced nightmare, Berlioz’s riveting masterpiece is captured by The Cleveland Orchestra and Franz Welser-Möst in this live recording.
Recorded live in Mandel Concert Hall on May 2, 3, and 4, 2024.
