An audiovisual creation that illustrates Hector Berlioz‘s ‘Symphonie Fantastique’ by using silent film clips.

Produced by Morgancrea and premiered at the Musical Fortnight in San Sebastian in 2003 with the participation of Galicia Symphony Orchestra conducted by Víctor Pablo Pérez.


MUNDO CLÁSICO
“The job of a tailor, magnificently adapted to the rhythm and character of each musical passage, as accurate as a watch and very consistent in terms of dramatic construction... A fantastic piece of work involving the creation of cinema for music.”
- Mikel Chamizo -
ABC
“We can only praise the force of a video which elevates the imaginary to a level where it appears real, which has rhythm and imagination and is adapted to the score.”
- Alberto González Lapuente -
EL DIARIO VASCO
“Romantic, passionate, sensitive... The montage with live music was extraordinary.”
- María José Cano -

EL PAÍS
“It paves the way for interdisciplinary artistic explorations which may have an immediate effect in attracting new types of public.”
- Juan Ángel Vela -
GARA
“The effort made by Morgan Creativos in investigating the field of silent films in order to make this video and its perfect conjunction with Berlioz‘s music is awesome.”
“A disturbing experience.”
- Otxandio -
EL MUNDO
“A sharp cinematic montage designed by Carlos Rodriguez, who, with strong and bold images illustrates the varied narrative plot behind Berlioz‘s great symphony.”
- Justo Romero -

REVISTA CULTURAL, EL MUNDO
“One of the best concerts of the year.”
LA VANGUARDIA
“It is a proposal that encourages reflection if we think that in this case, contrary to what is usual in the accompaniment of silent films, is the visual image that is at the service of music and thus, raises the risk of duplication of languages.”
- Jorge de Persia -
BERRIA
“From the expressionist aesthetic standpoint, we have never had Berlioz‘s music explained to us in a more expressionist way.”
- Iñigo Alberdi -
