To commemorate the great French Maestro Hector Berlioz on the 150th anniversary of his death, we’d like to share this extract from the final movement of the ever-exhilarating Symphonie fantastique, performed by the ORR and John Eliot Gardiner at the Opera Royal, Versailles. - The three Monteverdi ensembles – the Monteverdi Choir, English Baroque Soloists and Orchestre Révolutionnaire et Romantique – are a leading force on the international music scene. World-class musicians and singers from many nationalities come together to share in the distinctive vision of our Artistic Director, Sir John Eliot Gardiner, in ground-breaking projects that span eight centuries of musical masterpieces. ‘They represent British excellence on their tours abroad, and it is a great privilege to be Parton of such wonderful ambassadors for our country.’ HRH The Prince of Wales, Royal Patron, Monteverdi Choir & Orchestras.
