Berlioz: Symphonie fantastique - V. (Dream of a Witches’ Sabbath) - London Philharmonic Orchestra

In October 2021, we played Berlioz’s Symphonie fantastique at the Southbank Centre, conducted by Edward Gardner. Here’s a moment from the hair-raising fifth movement, Dream of a Witches’ Sabbath.

I remember my crackhead conductor made me play these cello lines on a euphonium at 14. Good times!

[@_swimmerboi9370]

I'm a percussionist in the symphony that I'm in, we're working on it right now. Yeah... rest in piece to both you back then, and our cellists now

Go, low brass! I promise to come and see the LPO in the flesh (and shiny metal) next time I holiday in London.

[@hilarybates1921]

Make sure you come on a night when the choir (London Philharmonic Choir) is singing, for a real treat!

[@alann2282]

@@hilarybates1921 Hilary, thanks. I notice that the LPO and Choir are performing the Dream of Gerontius at the BBC Proms on 31 August. I'll definitely be glued to my radio at least (from my holiday on the Isle of Bute!).

[@geraldojorgedalmaschio9648]

This is so classical... and modern at the same time.

[@Cubestreak]

Is there a link to the whole performance?

[@richardwilliams473]

Authentic bells at 2:49 ! BRAVO

[@jordansean18]

Amazing recording quality! I know the Bernstein version has the most views on TH-cam, but the detail is squashed to pieces by the compression. Thank you!

[@drtmuir]

E-flat clarinet, represent! 😁

[@robertgross2519]

He sure does beat up on that Dies Irae.

[@Aright231]

Yea I know! I would say it’s the classical motif I’m most sick of

Bravo to E. Gardner!

Spooky!

It’s even spookier when you know the story of this symphony

Almost Iron Man @ 3:44

[@thomassipe7295]

Bravo!

[@_dracoez345]

Eh, not including the low part for the tuba at 3:00 makes the piece sound incomplete
