Berlioz's Symphonie fantastique is a masterpiece of musical storytelling, employing the power of the orchestra to vividly depict the protagonist's tumultuous journey through love, obsession and madness. Its bold and innovative approach to orchestration, as well as its emotionally charged narrative, make it a landmark work in the Romantic symphonic repertoire, leaving a lasting impact on generations of listeners.
“Though free to think and act, we are held together, like the stars in the firmament, with ties inseparable. We
cannot see these ties, but we can feel them.”
