Louis-Hector Berlioz[1] (/ˈbɛərlioʊz/; French: [ɛktɔʁ bɛʁljoz]); 11 December 1803 – 8 March 1869) was a
French Romantic composer, best known for his compositions Symphonie fantastique, Harold en Italie, Roméo et Juliette, Grande messe des morts
(Requiem), L'Enfance du Christ, Benvenuto Cellini, La Damnation de Faust, and Les Troyens. Berlioz made significant contributions to the modern
orchestra with his Treatise on Instrumentation. He specified huge orchestral forces for some of his works, and conducted several concerts with more than
1,000 musicians.[2] He also composed around 50 compositions for voice, accompanied by piano or orchestra. His influence was critical for the further
development of Romanticism, especially in composers like Richard Wagner, Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov, Franz Liszt, Richard Strauss, and Gustav Mahler.[3] « hide |
