Tugan Sokhiev conducts Berlioz’s “Symphonie fantastique”

In his Symphonie fantastique, Hector Berlioz set a dark drama of unrequited love to music with intoxicating intensity. It depicts contrasting scenes in visionary tonal colours: infatuation, a swirling ball, doubts that lead to a murder and an execution, and finally a sinister witches’ sabbath. Johannes Brahms’s Double Concerto is characterised not only by its emotional depth but also by its Classical clarity. The soloists under the baton of conductor Tugan Sokhiev are concertmaster Noah Bendix-Balgley and principal cellist Bruno Delepelaire.
