Quand le monde fléchit autour de soi, quand les structures d’une civilisation vacillent, il est bon de revenir à ce qui, dans l’histoire, ne fléchit pas, mais au contraire redresse le courage, rassemble les séparés, pacifie sans meurtrir. Il est bon de rappeler que le génie de la création est lui aussi à l’œuvre dans une histoire vouée à la destruction 🐾
Es cierto que cuando se percibe el decaimiento de una civilización es para que los vientos barran todo lo antiguo y caducó dejando espacio para que no nuevo nazca. Así la Bondad, la Belleza y la Verdad llenarán las consciencias de todos aquellos que hayan sido valientes y no se hayan dejado apesadumbrar por lo negativo.
Berlioz wrote for a massive orchestra, and Radio France brought extra musicians in to perform this wonderful piece. Huge bass section, percussion for instance. Thousands of hours practicing when young, these musicians showed their talent as adults. They brought Berlioz back to life. It's a shame that Berlioz is not featured in concerts more, he had a lot to do with making the orchestra what it is today. This performance was A+, outstanding.
@@JérémyPresleThere were times Berloz used 1200 musicians in Paris, sometimes he sat behind the drums himself. When the Opera House in Budapest hosted him, they said, there is no that much musician in their whole country.
Plus je la réécoute et plus je trouve que décidément c'est un exceptionnel concert.... de toux ! 😢 À l'égal (hélas trois fois hélas) de cet enregistrement concert, pour une interprétation magistrale qui restera dans les annales de la Fantastique au XXe siècle.
La meilleure interprétation de la Symphonie fantastique de Berlioz. Merci à l'orchestre philharmonique de Radio France. Merci à Maître Myung-Whun Chung.
I spent 60 years singing professionally in the Los Angeles studios. I regret not playing an instrument to the point where I could have been part of an orchestra. Watching this beautiful rendition you can just feel the love and respect these people have for the music, for each other, and for the conductor. Thank you for this amazing post. PS I love it when a conductor doesn’t use a score. RESPECT
We only have so much time in this life, and the exigencies of survival, either own own needs or the needs of those who depend on us, create the flow of our lives. You have accomplished a dream others, like myself, never were able to fulfill. Your own contributions to art and to the pleasures of others who heard you are laurels others envy. Thanks for your own work.
What an irony. A piece of Berlioz is played in a room named 'Pleyel'. Berlioz loved a woman who later fell inlove with Pleyel. It is said that Berlioz galloped furiously to kill Pleyel but in the middle of the road, he finally dropped that thought.
Richard Brown !!! Thanks for weighing in. Would love to know who else we might be missing out on. If you could be so kind as to guide us on your favorite renditions, that would be awesome.
I only got into berlioz about 8 years ago. I was introduced to his work by my college music professor. To be honest I became a fan of the baroque era through the art and romance periods by the same professor.
Idaho Falls symphony is performing this tonight 2024. I'm so grateful to be here listening to this!!! Everyone is dressed up and the money is going towards the cause of mental health. I love classical music. So glad it's still being performed!!!!
I hope that you also make it to Sun Valley for the Summer Symphony season. As you know, it's free....you sit on the grass, listen to beautiful music and enjoy the majestic scenery. I'm from Idaho too, Boise! Enjoy
Que dirais-je devant tant de beauté ? " Fantastique " sans doute ! Merci à tous ces musiciens magnifiques , merci à Maître Myung-Whun Chung , et merci à la production de France Musique qui a merveilleusement filmé ce concert pour notre plus grand plaisir !

Une des symphonies les plus marquantes du répertoire romantique… Le compositeur français est parvenu à trouver sa place parmi les grands artistes allemands et italiens de son époque. Grand hommage à Hector Berlioz et Franz Liszt pour leur initiative à la légendaire musique à programme.
Berlioz presented the Fantastic Symphony for the first time in 1828, having been received by Liszt and by the most outstanding musicians of the time, with great enthusiasm for having recognized in this exuberant work and perfect musical expression strongly marked by the romantic style. In fact, this symphony unsurpassed musical sensibility written by a musical genius that involves us and makes us vibrate deeply. The orchestral interpretation and direction are magnificent, taking our musical emotion to levels never felt before. Thanks for this remarkable recording, which in my opinion is one of the best Interpretations I have ever heard. Viva Berlioz and his unparalleled and sublime music.
00:35 1st movement: Rêveries - Passions. Largo - Allegro agitato e appassionato assai - Religiosamente 15:08 2nd movement: Un bal (A Ball) . Valse. Allegro non troppo 22:09 3rd movement: Scène aux champs. Adagio 39:53 4th movement: Marche au supplice. Allegretto non troppo 44:24 5th movement: Songe d’une nuit de sabbat. Larghetto - Allegro
Opera fantastica: non composta al pianoforte, come erano soliti fare i compositori del tempo, risulta nuova, con sonorità sconosciute , tanto che lo stesso Schumann, che pure giudicava positivamente questa sinfonia, confessava di non capirne il "senso" . troppo avanti per i suoi tempi , col tema ricorrente ( idée fixe , confuse spesso con il leit-motiv ) , con sonorità mai ascoltate, in 5 movimenti, invece dei quattro tradizionali , con una struttura da "poema sinfonico", apriva la strada ai musicisti successivi. Nella " Scène aux schamps" " si ascoltano , addirittura sonorità che saranno proprie di Debussy. Bellissima esecuzione e grande direzione del Maestro Myung-Whun Chung.
I don't care what anyone says, music, as well as western sofistication and culture, peaked centuries ago. I cry because I cannot look at the current state of France and see anything resembling the grace, virility and honor of its ancestors. I wish I was born in the past, when people were proud of their kin, of their God and filled with hope and a desire for virtue
Indeed, in those days, being "British", "French", etc. meant something that made you distinct from others. Living in England myself, I couldn't tell you what makes something or someone British anymore (not without being frowned upon, at least).
I agree. Heaven is filled with greatness. We can be happy here inspiring the rising generation and we will be happy in the heavens creating for eternity.
What a find! This is so beautifully shaped and must have made for lively rehearsals judging from the sheer engagement and enjoyment shown by the musicians. Chung is well known for his ability to get the best of ensemble playing and it really pays off with each movement being a separate 'dream'. But above all this has a truly French orchestral sound which I feared had gone extinct. Best I have heard on modern instruments.
Absolutely agree! It is a real treat to see musicians so engaged and clearly enjoying being part of this performance; and, of course, it shows in the results. A very special occasion! And, yes, a wonderfully authentic 'French' sound - brass in particular.
Yes! A wonderfully French Fantastique. I grew up listening to the old Beecham recording with the French Nadtional Radio Orchestra and this version now moves to the top of the list for favorite interpretations.
Amazing that this work had its premiere only five years after Beethoven’s 9th. What an imagination! I think of Berlioz as the Led Zeppelin of his day. The “Tuba Mirum” of his Requiem is the loudest classical music I’ve ever heard.
@@jeremoo I had meant to correct this, but it somehow slipped my mind. Nevertheless, they were written within a decade of each other. Quite a difference, what?
That might be the greatest performance of Symphony Fantastique, I've EVER HEARD!!!. A beautifully controlled performance by Myung-Whun Chung of the Berlioz masterpiece..

There is something so sublime, so moving, so indescribable in this interpretation: the musicians, and the conductor are so immersed in the spirit of the composer
RIP Apollo 16 command module Pilot Ken Mattingley, Astronaut, Engineer, and Test pilot. He took this music with him on his lunar expedition. The views he had around the moon with this music in the background must have been Amazing.
I love the use of the bells in the final movement . I have not heard of this conductor before but very impressed he leads 'by ear' THAT is superb Sir!!
Moi qui n’aimait que le baroque, je découvre cette œuvre et j’avoue qu’en comprenant pourquoi Berlioz l’a composée, la profondeur des sentiments exprimés, on ne peut qu’être touché et pris dans les méandres de cette musique.

Possibly the best performance of this very complex symphony I have heard. Berlioz' music is enigmatic at all times, but I think this work takes the cake. Well directed and played. thank you.
@@dbz9393 I thought the 4th movement was just darker imagination- I didn't know it had a basis in reality. So it really was a Marche au Supplice.. 😯 We're lucky something stopped him.
I listened to this piece for the first time tonight and fell in love immediately. Absolutely beautiful and I love it so much all the wonderful images that came across my mind while listening to this.
Héroïque. Élégant. Contrasté. Sublime. La musique dite "classique" est bien le seul langage universel - avec la mathématique bien sûr - qui vaille, la seule langue qui n’admette décidément aucune frontière. 🎼🖤
I have started watching the conductors, too. Mr. Myung Chung struck me soon after beginning, as working from a very calm center-but still can express his arms quickly and suddenly at certain moments. I love to see a condutor smile at a musician a few times. The 1st movement seemed to have more reverie, less passion. The waltz felt like you were there, dancing.The field was delightful from its waking, from a gentle daytime pace, to the drama of a thunderstorm, or of one animal chasing another. It was the 4th movement, however, that had me spellbound. The combination of the tuba section with the bell felt mythological, perhaps approaching the underworld in a foggy shroud.
Non seulement ça n'a pas vieilli d'une note, mais si on oublie tout ce qui s''est fait depuis, jusqu'à maintenant, on s'imagine entendre soudain ça avec les oreilles de gens qui venaient à peine de digérer (mal) Beethoven. C'était extraordinaire, ça l'est encore. Et merci pour cette belle interprétation où chaque instrument ou groupe se détache particulièrement. C'est pour moi une version idéale, magique, qui vit.
Bien vu, l’inscription dans le Temps de cette musique si courageuse,si sincère et révolutionnaire. Rien de moins que la naissance de l’orchestre moderne. Un zeste de Wagner,Bruckner… nous voilà dans nos films et séries,
De cœur avec vos mots. Et de tête. Ça a fait Wagner, Bruckner, les Russes, tout ce qu’on veut, nos films, nos séries. On le montre aux élèves comme un monument, ils s’ennuient. Oublions et découvrons, grâce à cette merveilleuse interprétation.
Un moment béni, inoubliable ,quelle merveilleuse version !!!!! J’ai eu la chance il y’a bien longtemps d’assister à un concert et de découvrir cette symphonie ,mais rien de comparable au concert de ce matin !
@Quattro Bajeena I also like rock, folk, hip hop and Jazz..I think it is you who is the snob, making snap judgements just because I praised one type of music, because I was listening to it at the time ! DUH !
Yes but it is actually really rethorical because if you look at the backstory Berlioz story turns out to not be that fantastique after all and that’s the ironie behind it
In french, "fantastic" have two main meanings, one is used as a synonym of "really great, excellent, marvellous" and one is more litterally describing something that is supernatural, unreal, a product of imagination where everything can happen. Is it the same in english ?
@@antoinebrg6299 I think "fantastic" (adjective) has something to do with "fantasy" (noun), so theoretically it could be, although I rarely see anyone use "fantastic" in that meaning.
I was listening to this while doing home work and I had a mini aneurism every time someone coughed, sneezed, or grunted. Like bruh you're listening to some of the most beautiful music in the world performed by incredibly skilled musicians. Hold your cough.
J'ai fait mon stage de 3ème à l'orchestre nationnal du capitole de Toulouse. Pendant une semaine, j'étais tout seul dans la Halle au Grains à écouter les musiciens jouer cette merveille.
Brillante und zugleich lyrische Aufführung dieser fantastischen Sinfonie mit klaren und sauberen Töne aller Instrumente. Der zweite Satz klingt besonders faszinierend und der vierte Satz echt spannend. Der intelligente Maestro dirigiert das ausgezeichnete Orchester im gut phrasierten Tempo mit effektiv kontrollierter Dynamik. Einfach wunderschön!
Le chef à bien travaillé avec son orchestre. Le matériau sonore est riche , possède la brillance , le flux est mené avec toute l'élégance et la ténacitée qui sied à la partition. L'accent sur les silences et les extinctions sont des points de repères pour les comparaisons (Munch. ..) GRAND
Cette interprétation est juste bonne, ce qui est déjà pas mal. Ecoutez Münch avec le Boston ou Paray à Detroit, pour savoir ce qu'est vraiment cette extraordinaire symphonie.
Je viens d'écouter la symphonie fantastique de BERLIOZ une véritable merveille qui transporte vers l'infini et qui nous fait comprendre et apprécié l'immense talent de ce compositeur de ces oeuvres totalement incrusté dans l'espace temps. RB B
Get the Karajan recording--1975, Berlin Philharmonic ... with real church bells; if this performance impresses you, you'll have a heart attack when you listen to what Karajan does with it!
This Symphony is the testament of the greatest simp-like behavior in history As a symphony 4.5/5 cheeses 🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀 The proficiency of the people playing it 5/5 cheeses 🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀 The story behind the composition of this symphony 0/100 cheeses 😤😤😤
Agreed, but still... You have to hand it to Berlioz being able to be this productive from a bad break up and serious bender. Most folks nowadays just rot away.
... fantástica? Ohhh, no, excede ese calificativo. es algo así como sobrehumano, mágico de otra dimensión. ensueño y pasión, todo queda pequeño para descifrar y entender este misterio sinfónico. Berliost extra-terreno, soberbio! ... 🎼🙏💖🎶 ...
Ah! Notre chère vraie Salle Pleyel ! Super accessible depuis quasiment toute IDF en transports ou voitures ... Super acoustique singulière, dont l'arrière scène. .. Que de regrets... Idem pour le philar et ce chef. .. Que de super souvenirs y avec compris avec l'orchestre du Venezuela et Duhdamel Super quartier
Myung-Whun Chung.. Eccellente direttore d'orchestra ogni sua direzione è un capolavoro, lo seguo volentieri ed ogni suo lavoro ti lascia sempre soddisfatto, ogni sua interpretazione rasenta la perfezione..
Musique interpréter de façon fantastique comme son nom l'indique ! ❤

The greatest ever piece of European music in its history. Berlioz wrote this first ever piece of psychedelic music and thus changed the world of European music forever.
Berlioz was a pretty advanced composer and pushed certain techniques to the limits of his period. If this is the "greatest ever piece of European music" is a matter of your personal taste. I think that Bach and Beethoven did more to the history of music but Berlioz is definitely among those who gave their times a twist and some excitement of new ideas. Looking back at this symphony, it doesn´t really sound like 1830 in some parts but then again - the entire 19th century was bringing rapid developments in any kind of artistic expression in each of its decade.

Il n'y a que l'amour qui puisse inspirer une telle merveille.
Fantastic music for sure and conductor too. Just wonderful....... and beautiful...... speechless...... Bravo
Best of the bestest performances in all coceivable parameter. Thank you.
My first and still favorite simphonie. Great music, great perfomance, thank you!!
Possibly the best performance of this very complex symphony I have heard. Berlioz' music is enigmatic at all times, but I think this work takes the cake. Well directed and played. thank you.
To think he had attempted to kill himself right before writing this. I am sure it adds to the depth
@@dbz9393 I thought the 4th movement was just darker imagination- I didn't know it had a basis in reality. So it really was a Marche au Supplice.. 😯 We're lucky something stopped him.

A beautifully controlled performance by Myung-Whun Chung of the Berlioz masterpiece.
One of my most favorite piece in my lifetime. And this is also one of best interpretation.
Es un placer escuchar a estos compositores, intérpretes y directores de primer nivel mundial. ¡Gracias!
Les médias diffuseraient plus de telles musiques ,il n'y aurait que PAIX dans le monde. Merci à youtub et internet de diffuser ces musiques de paix.
I listened to this piece for the first time tonight and fell in love immediately. Absolutely beautiful and I love it so much all the wonderful images that came across my mind while listening to this.
Look into the story behind this great work. It will make it even better for you.
Héroïque. Élégant. Contrasté. Sublime. La musique dite "classique" est bien le seul langage universel - avec la mathématique bien sûr - qui vaille, la seule langue qui n’admette décidément aucune frontière. 🎼🖤
"La Musique" tout simplement c'était pas suffisant ??!!
I feel like I am around in a fantastic labyrinth to spread infinitely when I listen to this masterpiece
beautiful emotional roller coaster .up and down .the ovation was well given
Beautiful. I always enjoy the music more when I watch the instruments being played. 🐨🇦🇺
Yes, me too.
I have started watching the conductors, too. Mr. Myung Chung struck me soon after beginning, as working from a very calm center-but still can express his arms quickly and suddenly at certain moments. I love to see a condutor smile at a musician a few times.
The 1st movement seemed to have more reverie, less passion. The waltz felt like you were there, dancing.The field
was delightful from its waking, from a gentle daytime pace, to the drama of a thunderstorm, or of one animal chasing another. It was the 4th movement, however, that had me spellbound. The combination of the tuba section with the bell felt mythological, perhaps approaching the underworld in a foggy shroud.
Non seulement ça n'a pas vieilli d'une note, mais si on oublie tout ce qui s''est fait depuis, jusqu'à maintenant, on s'imagine entendre soudain ça avec les oreilles de gens qui venaient à peine de digérer (mal) Beethoven. C'était extraordinaire, ça l'est encore. Et merci pour cette belle interprétation où chaque instrument ou groupe se détache particulièrement. C'est pour moi une version idéale, magique, qui vit.
Me encanta
Bien vu, l’inscription dans le Temps de cette musique si courageuse,si sincère et révolutionnaire. Rien de moins que la naissance de l’orchestre moderne. Un zeste de Wagner,Bruckner… nous voilà dans nos films et séries,
De cœur avec vos mots. Et de tête. Ça a fait Wagner, Bruckner, les Russes, tout ce qu’on veut, nos films, nos séries. On le montre aux élèves comme un monument, ils s’ennuient.
Oublions et découvrons, grâce à cette merveilleuse interprétation.
Amusant le chef d'orchestre chintok.
Un moment béni, inoubliable ,quelle merveilleuse version !!!!! J’ai eu la chance il y’a bien longtemps d’assister à un concert et de découvrir cette symphonie ,mais rien de comparable au concert de ce matin !
J'adore la manière dont ces instruments fusionnent pour produire une tel symphonie digne d'un palais royal !!😊
T'es réceptif à la grande musique !
At what point, during our journey into this high tech. existance we now favour...did we so foolishly forget and ignore such beauty as this?
I hope never
We didn't... SOME OF US still soak up the beauty every day by pursuing music in some form; whether it be playing or listening.
I wouldn't be listening to this if it wasn't thanks to technology and internet
Well Barbara, I doubt internet was around at the time of the great composers: You could always go to a concert.,
@Quattro Bajeena I also like rock, folk, hip hop and Jazz..I think it is you who is the snob, making snap judgements just because I praised one type of music, because I was listening to it at the time ! DUH !
Sehr einfühlsam. Diese Aufführung ist ein wirklicher Ohrenschmaus!
This Symphony lives up to its title: Fantastic.
Yes but it is actually really rethorical because if you look at the backstory Berlioz story turns out to not be that fantastique after all and that’s the ironie behind it
In french, "fantastic" have two main meanings, one is used as a synonym of "really great, excellent, marvellous" and one is more litterally describing something that is supernatural, unreal, a product of imagination where everything can happen.
Is it the same in english ?
@@antoinebrg6299 I think "fantastic" (adjective) has something to do with "fantasy" (noun), so theoretically it could be, although I rarely see anyone use "fantastic" in that meaning.
@@linneaklingler8467 what do you mean or refer to exactly ? I'm really curious
@@segmentsAndCurves BRO WHAT
I was listening to this while doing home work and I had a mini aneurism every time someone coughed, sneezed, or grunted. Like bruh you're listening to some of the most beautiful music in the world performed by incredibly skilled musicians. Hold your cough.
Obviously not taking enough opium. Best thing for a cough.
@@shaarifgwth This is not a "song", it's a symphony. Big difference. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symphonie_fantastique
J'ai fait mon stage de 3ème à l'orchestre nationnal du capitole de Toulouse. Pendant une semaine, j'étais tout seul dans la Halle au Grains à écouter les musiciens jouer cette merveille.
J'espère que vous aurez vite l'occasion de jouer cette merveille. Avec un si bon chef!
@@charlesalexis7001 Et de si bons musiciens.
El título lo dice todo, fantástica!!!. También los músicos y el director!!. Excelente 👌
es un chino chin chen chan chin

Absolutely divine ,fantastique. The orchestra plays as if beìng under a magic spell of this incredible conductor
Maestro Myung-Whun Chung . BRAVO ! !!
Brillante und zugleich lyrische Aufführung dieser fantastischen Sinfonie mit klaren und sauberen Töne aller Instrumente. Der zweite Satz klingt besonders faszinierend und der vierte Satz echt spannend. Der intelligente Maestro dirigiert das ausgezeichnete Orchester im gut phrasierten Tempo mit effektiv kontrollierter Dynamik. Einfach wunderschön!
Le chef à bien travaillé avec son orchestre. Le matériau sonore est riche , possède la brillance , le flux est mené avec toute l'élégance et la ténacitée qui sied à la partition. L'accent sur les silences et les extinctions sont des points de repères pour les comparaisons (Munch. ..) GRAND
The bela bartok of this version is excellent and unique among all I've ever heard 😂❤❤❤❤❤
Oh my Lord! What a stinkin good performance!
It seems I am wandering in the labyrinth of Berlioz’s musical aesthetics to spread infinity

Magistrale interprétation musicale par tous ces musiciens et leur chef d'orchestre. Un très beau morceau de la musique classique.
Cette interprétation est juste bonne, ce qui est déjà pas mal. Ecoutez Münch avec le Boston ou Paray à Detroit, pour savoir ce qu'est vraiment cette extraordinaire symphonie.
Il faut que je voie cet orchestre en concert - c'est décidé !
Je viens d'écouter la symphonie fantastique de BERLIOZ une véritable merveille qui transporte vers l'infini et qui nous fait comprendre et apprécié l'immense talent de ce compositeur de ces oeuvres totalement incrusté dans l'espace temps.

Una de mis piezas clásicas favoritas. La he escuchado mil veces. Excelente interpretación!
Stellar performance of PRF, led by Maesto Chung. And what a magical rendition of Berlioz materpiece. Thank you for sharing ✨️ 👏
I love this conductor! What a boss!
Brother of Kyung-Wha Chung...super talented family!!
C'est ce qu'on appelle prendre une claque symphonique.
Monstrueux! Et fantastique bien sûr.
Bravo au chef et aux musiciens.
This Symphonie is one of my totems, my sacred totems to not lose my mind in these times of insane madness.
Get the Karajan recording--1975, Berlin Philharmonic ... with real church bells; if this performance impresses you, you'll have a heart attack when you listen to what Karajan does with it!

Une sublime interprétation avec un chef d'orchestre génial

nah I came for the first movement lol
I came for the fourth movement but that is a nice part as well
@@nk-qy2xp yeah, the Marche aux Supplice is my favorite part of this symphony
I came here from a module from the philippines

This Symphony is the testament of the greatest simp-like behavior in history
As a symphony 4.5/5 cheeses 🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀

The story behind the composition of this symphony 0/100 cheeses 😤😤😤
or you can say SIMPhony :D
@@gluzzywuzzy hahahaha
Agreed, but still... You have to hand it to Berlioz being able to be this productive from a bad break up and serious bender. Most folks nowadays just rot away.

... fantástica? Ohhh, no, excede ese calificativo. es algo así como sobrehumano, mágico de otra dimensión. ensueño y pasión, todo queda pequeño para descifrar y entender este misterio sinfónico. Berliost extra-terreno, soberbio! ... 🎼🙏💖🎶 ...
Ah! Notre chère vraie Salle Pleyel !
Super accessible depuis quasiment toute IDF en transports ou voitures ...
Super acoustique singulière, dont l'arrière scène. ..
Que de regrets...
Idem pour le philar et ce chef. ..
Que de super souvenirs y avec compris avec l'orchestre du Venezuela et Duhdamel

Chung is a master. I have never heard anything he has conducted that was not amazing.

La musique, encore an espion de la personnalité de tout vivant, an de plus parmi les autres ! Vieux de centaine de millions de année!
Musique interpréter de façon fantastique comme son nom l'indique ! ❤
The greatest ever piece of European music in its history. Berlioz wrote this first ever piece of psychedelic music and thus changed the world of European music forever.
Berlioz was a pretty advanced composer and pushed certain techniques to the limits of his period. If this is the "greatest ever piece of European music" is a matter of your personal taste. I think that Bach and Beethoven did more to the history of music but Berlioz is definitely among those who gave their times a twist and some excitement of new ideas. Looking back at this symphony, it doesn´t really sound like 1830 in some parts but then again - the entire 19th century was bringing rapid developments in any kind of artistic expression in each of its decade.
