Hector Berlioz was one of the most significant artistic figures of the 19th century. Intended for medicine, he turned instead to music and became one of its most original composers. His first major work, the semi-autobiographical Symphonie Fantastique, revolutionised the sound of the orchestra and its use in storytelling. Unhappy with the quality of performance of his works, he took up the baton himself and became a great conductor, celebrated across Europe and in Russia.

I laughed out loud several times, which I didn’t expect from such a lofty figure in serious art of classical music. Offers many insights into the places and era of the birth of music as a high and humanist art form. His music received wildly different responses across Europe and reveals much about human nature and of mores across Europe. I read it as a student but got much more now at age 60. Can’t be recommending tooooo highly!
