Berlioz let his imagination run wild in his music, finding inspiration in all manner of sources, including his own turbulent

personal life. His experience of powerful, unrequited love finds its expression in the emotionally charged Symphonie

Fantastique, the story of an artist’s ‘hopeless love’, complete with waltzes, witches and a hallucinogenic nightmare.

There few orchestras with the music of Berlioz more thoroughly in their blood than the LSO, and here Valery Gergiev

brings to bear his opulent interpretation of this landmark piece.
