BERLIOZ – LISZT Symphonie Fantastique
A Multimedia Presentation with Prof. FRANK COOPER

The story is a self-portrait of its composer, Hector Berlioz. Symphonie Fantastique tells the story of an artist’s self-destructive passion for a beautiful woman. The symphony describes his obsession and dreams, tantrums and moments of tenderness, and visions of suicide and murder, ecstasy and despair.
