Berlioz wrote for a massive orchestra, and Radio France brought extra musicians in to perform this wonderful piece. Huge bass section, percussion for instance. Thousands of hours practicing when young, these musicians showed their talent as adults. They brought Berlioz back to life. It's a shame that Berlioz is not featured in concerts more, he had a lot to do with making the orchestra what it is today. This performance was A+, outstanding.

The 'orchestre philharmonique de Radiofrance' is huge orchestra. They probably didn't need extras.

Not just any Berlioz composition, even. This piece was inspired by Harriet Smithson, the woman in your comment.

[@martifabianne4401]

A Fantasztikus szimfónia premierje 1830-ban volt, a romantika, a hernani csata évében. Az első „programzene”, amely szétzúzza a szimfónia szigorúan klasszikus kereteit, kora előtti remekmű, sok romantikus zeneszerzőre, Lisztre, Wagnerre és Mahlerre hatva. Harriet Smithson színésznő iránti szeretetének önéletrajzi és fantáziadús elbeszélése a mű egy „rögzített gondolat” körül forog, amely megszállottan ismétlődik a különböző mozgalmakban. Lassú és bizonytalan Bevezetés után a rögzített gondolat megfogalmazódik, majd az első Allegro mozgalomban kifejlesztésre kerül. Könnyű és híres keringő szól a második „Un bal” tételben, amely eszeveszett kodával zárul. Az Adagio de la Scène aux bajnokság egy oboe / angol kürt duettel kezdődik, amely vidéki tájat állít fel, mielőtt Beethovenre emlékeztető variációk sora kezdődne. A rövid életű Halálig haladás egy rém látvány, melyben a hős azt képzeli, hogy megölte kedvesét. Az utolsó tétel, az Álom a szombat éjszakájáról kétségtelenül a zenei újításokban a legmesszebbmenő, kétségkívül a legfélelmetesebb rész Dies Irae bejelentése két, az ürességben csengő haranggal.

Opera fantastica: non composta al pianoforte, come erano soliti fare i compositori del tempo, risulta nuova, con sonorità sconosciute , tanto che lo stesso Schumann, che pure giudicava positivamente questa sinfonia, confessava di non capirne il "senso" . troppo avanti per i suoi tempi , col tema ricorrente ( idée fixe , confuse spesso con il leit-motiv ) , con sonorità mai ascoltate, in 5 movimenti, invece dei quattro tradizionali , con una struttura da "poema sinfonico", apriva la strada ai musicisti successivi. Nella " Scène aux schamps" " si ascoltano , addirittura sonorità che saranno proprie di Debussy. Bellissima esecuzione e grande direzione del Maestro Myung-Whun Chung.

Berlioz presented the Fantastic Symphony for the first time in 1828, having been received by Liszt and by the most outstanding musicians of the time, with great enthusiasm for having recognized in this exuberant work and perfect musical expression strongly marked by the romantic style. In fact, this symphony unsurpassed musical sensibility written by a musical genius that involves us and makes us vibrate deeply. The orchestral interpretation and direction are magnificent, taking our musical emotion to levels never felt before.

I have started watching the conductors, too. Mr. Myung Chung struck me soon after beginning, as working from a very calm center-but still can express his arms quickly and suddenly at certain moments. I love to see a condutor smile at a musician a few times. The 1st movement seemed to have more reverie, less passion. The waltz felt like you were there, dancing.The field was delightful from its waking, from a gentle daytime pace, to the drama of a thunderstorm, or of one animal chasing another. It was the 4th movement, however, that had me spellbound. The combination of the tuba section with the bell felt mythological, perhaps approaching the underworld in a foggy shroud.

Epizódok egy művész életéből. Karmester: Miung-Wun Chung. Egy bál. Keringő.Csupa lelki élmény, amelyek sora a sabbat lelki hatásának az ábrázolásával zárul. Érdekes, hogy Berlioz szereplője lesz Bulgakov A Mester és Margarita című regényének.Berlioz hozta lázba a reformkor magyar közönségét a Rákóczi induló hangszerelésével.

J'adore la manière dont ces instruments fusionnent pour produire une tel symphonie digne d'un palais royal !!😊

Inoubliale symphonie Merci Berlioz et a la Radio France

The fact that Kubrick basically just took the exact same phrase at 47:45 for the main Shining theme is pure gold when you realize it

[@mythicalmadmen5580]

its called the dies irae sequence, basically an old latin chant, and yes it was in the shining too

Chung is a master. I have never heard anything he has conducted that was not amazing.

Can you imagine if Beethoven had lived 3 more years and heard this? Oh wait.

[@kerencanelo8580]

Read it and listened so in his mind

[@phildur]

He could'nt hear, but he felt music

[@MisterMalleable]

I read this and didn’t get the joke, but now I get it and feel stupid

[@miguelsuarez8010]

I wait and wait.....

[@tonescape1]

It always blows my mind to realize that Berlioz wrote this amazing piece only 3 years after Beethoven was gone.

RIP Apollo 16 command module Pilot Ken Mattingley, Astronaut, Engineer, and Test pilot. He took this music with him on his lunar expedition. The views he had around the moon with this music in the background must have been Amazing.

Musique interpréter de façon fantastique comme son nom l'indique ! ❤

[@notaire2]

Brillante und zugleich lyrische Aufführung dieser fantastischen Sinfonie mit klaren und sauberen Töne aller Instrumente. Der zweite Satz klingt besonders faszinierend und der vierte Satz echt spannend. Der intelligente Maestro dirigiert das ausgezeichnete Orchester im gut phrasierten Tempo mit effektiv kontrollierter Dynamik. Einfach wunderschön!
