Berlioz Symphonie Fantastique. A story of obsession, betrayal, and execution (an audio podcast)

Berlioz was a musical outsider (and also, terrifyingly, a medical student) when he debuted his Symphonie Fantastique at the age of 26 at the Paris Conservatory. We get into his obsession with an Irish actor that inspired the work, how he made some of the haunting musical imagery, instruments, and the detailed program Berlioz wrote that accompanies the symphony.
