An obsession. An opium dream. A march to the scaffold. A witches' sabbath at midnight. Step inside the fevered imagination of Hector Berlioz as Nir Kabaretti leads the Symphonie fantastique — music so vivid, so unhinged, it shocked the world in 1830 and still does today. Plus Santa Barbara Symphony Chorus in Poulenc's radiant Gloria, and Debussy's shimmering Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun.
