Berlioz’s Symphonie Fantastique is based on his own love life. The work, partly written under the influence of opium, has a hallucinatory, dream-like nature, moving through themes of ecstasy and despair with vivid fragments of tantrums, suicide and murder, concluding in a mad frenzy of sound. From one radical to another, Tan Dun’s unconventional Internet Symphony was played by musicians via the internet, premiered on YouTube.
