Berlioz, the Voice of Romanticism, the exhibition : Ressource du site Berlioz, la voix du romantisme

The site, which is all about sound illustrations, endeavours to show the many facets of this protean artist. It is in images that the exhibition presents the romantic hero, the composer in search of official status, the inventor of the modern orchestra, the organizer of concerts throughout Europe and his painful relationships with the stage. The feature connects with musical romanticism, the art of composition, and is a testament to the literary work of the music critic and memorialist. Three close-ups focus on an educational mode of major works: Faust , le Traité d’orchestration (Treatise on orchestration) and the Symphonie fantastique (Fantastical Symphony) and look to explain in greater detail the myth of Faust, the place of instruments in the Orchestra or the various interpretations of the same symphony
