Berlioz James Conlon - Symphonie Fantastique

Review by Reydi Benjamin Moreta Beltre

Symphonie Fantastique by Berlioz James Conlon is an exceptional classical music album that showcases the composer's ingenious musical style. The album features a collection of five movements that are inspired by Berlioz's own personal experience of unrequited love. James Conlon, the renowned American conductor, has done a remarkable job in conducting the Orchestre de Paris, bringing out the best in each movement.

The first movement, "Reveries-Passions," is a serene and melancholic composition that sets the tone for the rest of the album. The second movement, "Un Bal," is a lively and energetic piece that depicts a dance party, while the third movement, "Scene aux champs," is a beautiful pastoral piece that evokes the tranquility of the countryside.

The fourth movement, "Marche au supplice," is a dramatic and intense piece that portrays the protagonist's descent into madness. The final movement, "Songe d'une nuit de sabbat," is a haunting and macabre piece that concludes the album on a chilling note.
