About

"Shakespeare, falling on me unexpectedly, struck me. His lightning, opening the sky of art with a sublime crash, illuminated the most distant depths for me. I recognized true greatness, true beauty, true dramatic truth. "  For Berlioz, the works of Shakespeare inspired love at first sight!

Among them, Berlioz’s symphonic interpretation of Romeo and Juliet has pride of place.
