She could only sing one note but made a fortune singing it.... Houston and her fellow drug addict husband, Bobby Brown destroyed the career of one of the finest men ever known-his crime? Trusting her to use a loaner Porsche overnight without getting arrested for wholesale quantity drug possession, illegal weapons, DUI and resisting arrest whilst driving the vehicle and being filmed by news networks plastering the dealer decaled vehicle locally and nationwide.
Hector Berlioz: Symphonie Fantastique, Op.14
Lorin Maazel/Cleveland Orchestra
There's a somewhat interesting backstory here. Berlioz fell in love with an Irish actress, Harriet Smithson, when he saw her perform as Ophelia in Shakespeare's Hamlet in 1825, when he was 22. He pursued her, writing numerous love letters that were never answered, and she refused to meet him. In 1830 he wrote the Symphonie Fantastique to express his love for her. She heard about this, and a couple years later she heard it performed and was so impressed that she agreed to see him. And in 1832 they were married - after which they were increasingly unhappy and bitter, finally splitting up. Oh well.
