The Luxembourg Philharmonic in Châlons-en-Champagne.

Ludwig van Beethoven was a true musical revelation for Hector Berlioz. The French composer studied his symphonies and his late string quartets and piano sonatas, as he was fascinated by the inherent drama in Beethoven’s compositions. A prime example of this flair for the dramatic is the Symphony N° 8, which begins immediately with its climax. Does Berlioz have the same sense of drama? Find out for yourself on 03.04. with his songs collection Les Nuits d’été.
