BBC Symphony Orchestra (Leader, Paul Beard ), conducted by John Barbirolli. From a concert-hall in the South
Berlioz's Fantastic Symphony was inspired by an episode m the composer's own life. He left a description of what his music is intended to depict-the dreams of an ardent spirit who tried to poison himself with opium. The work is built on a ' motto ' theme, which pursues the dreamer everywhere. The first movement describes the tumult of heart of one who has fallen violently in love. The second takes him to a ball where he meets hisbeloved, and the third describes a summer evening in the country. In the fourth he dreams that he has murdered his beloved and is marched to the scaffold, and the fifth is a very orgy of terror.
