Berlioz: Symphonie fantastique
Matthew Baynton (actor)
Aurora Orchestra
Nicholas Collon (conductor)
A diabolical witches鈥� sabbath, a riotous ball, a march to the gallows and an unrequited passion make up the hallucinatory narrative of Berlioz鈥檚 Symphonie fantastique.
Inspired by the composer鈥檚 own romantic infatuation with a young actress, the score is a cinematic fantasy full of tragedy and passion, a work teeming with orchestral drama 鈥� by turns gorgeous and grotesque.
