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.

These two Rachmaninov masterpieces, performed by one of the world's most renowned orchestras under their celebrated principal conductor Sir Simon Rattle. This is a rare chance to hear Sir Simon's interpretations of these great works. Towards the end of his life, the composer himself said of The Bells "I worked on this composition with feverish ardour; and it remains of all my works the one I love the most". Of the Symphonic Dances, written shortly before his death, he said "I don't know how it happened, it must have been my last spark".
