BBC Philharmonic - Big Beautiful Dark and Scary
Personal suffering is distant in Tchaikovsky?s concerto, but front-and-centre of Hector Berlioz?s Symphonie fantastique. Originally titled ?Episodes in the Life of an Artist?, this ?fantastic symphony in five parts? follows the tribulations of a gifted artist who, out of an unrequited love for a woman, falls into a deep malaise, and travels through opium-addled hallucinations. High drama.
