Hessischer Rundfunk

The Management Symphony is made up of around 100 German business leaders who are passionate about making music at a high level. They invite renowned orchestras to coach and host their annual rehearsal phase and concert. This season, the hr-Sinfonieorchester and its chief conductor Alain Altinoglu. The result of their joint work can be experienced in this concert, which presents a symphony that was once a departure into a new world, both romantic and fantastic.

The "Symphonie fantastique" has an artist's life as its program, the audience is up close and personal. And they experience a rush of sound that has never been heard before, so vivid, so powerful and drastic. This artist has fallen in love with an adored woman, sees her waltzing at a ball, seeks peace and quiet on a country trip, has visions of his execution while intoxicated with opium - and finally dreams of his burial, accompanied by witches and grimaces, death bells and a parodied "Dies irae". Black Romanticism with all its demons enters the music of its time - another merit that Berlioz deserves with his truly fantastic symphony.

Cast: The Management Symphony, Alain Altinoglu (conductor), Alexander Arutjunjan (trumpet concerto), Hector Berlioz (Symphonie fantastique).
