About This Song
About "Symphonie fantastique, Op. 14, H. 48: II. Un bal. Valse" by Leonard Bernstein
The second movement of Berlioz's 'Symphonie fantastique', 'Un bal', under Bernstein's baton, is a whirling waltz of dizzying elegance. Harps shimmer like chandeliers, but the melody's minor-key shadows betray a lover's obsession. It's a ballroom where ecstasy and dread spin in the same embrace.
