Symphonieorchester Des Bayerischen Rundfunks - Berlioz: Symphonie fantastique - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

HECTOR BERLIOZ SYMPHONIE FANTASTIQUE op. 14 The BR-KLASSIK tag is now commemorating the 75th anniversary of the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra (BRSO) in 2024 by releasing previously unreleased recordings of concerts worth listening to on CD and as a stream for the first time. Hector Berlioz's passionate InchSymphonie fantastiqueInch, the nearly revolutionary symphonic masterpiece by the great French composer, was performed by Colin Davis with the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra at Munich's Philharmonie i'm Gasteig on January 15 and 16, 1987. In his InchSymphonie fantastiqueInch, subtitled InchEpisodes from the Life of an ArtistInch, Berlioz combines the structures of the musical symphony with the form of a five-part classical drama. Using a leitmotif (an Inchidée fixeInch), he narrates to the listener the story of the beloved woman of his dreams. The InchSymphonie fantastiqueInch thus paved the way for the symphonic poems of the Romantic period as well as the leitmotif method in Wagner's music dramas. InchI am still unknown, Inch wrote Berlioz in June 1829 at the age of 25 - but he was certain that he could achieve resounding success with the idea of a major instrumental work. With his InchSymphonie fantastiqueInch, he created a new kind of programmatic music. Berlioz was inspired by the works of Goethe and by Beethoven's symphonic music - and also by the fascination he felt for the Irish actress Harriet Smithson, whom he saw play Ophelia in Shakespeare's Hamlet at the Odéon Theatre in Paris on September 11, 1827. The InchIdée fixeInch, the main theme, represents the artist going through his life story in various inner states of mind. Album Tracks 1. Symphonie fantastique, Op. 14~Rêveries - Passions.
