In the timeline of musical history, Brelioz’s Symphonie fantastique is a thunderbolt out of the blue. Written in 1830, only three years have passed since the death of Beethoven, who left a formidable legacy of nine game-changing symphonies. Whilst other composers are perhaps overawed by this giant’s shadow, 26-year-old Berlioz was unfazed - he was inspired by the Beethoven model and expands it in every direction.
