Berlioz Birthday Celebration
Evening Music | May 6, 2010
Hector Berlioz (1803) is the birthday boy of the evening, and to celebrate the 201st year of his birth, we begin with the ‘Dance of the Sylphs’ from “Damnation of Faust.”
After violinist Anne-Sophie Mutter bewitches us with her interpretation of Mozart’s Adagio for Violin and Orchestra (the conductor is Sir Neville Marriner and the orchestra is the Academy of St. Martin in the Fields), Paavo Järvi will lead the Cincinnati Symphony in the ‘Love Scene’ from Berlioz’s “Romeo and Juliet.” As they say in Cincinnati, “Bravo, Paavo!”
Winton Marsalis plays his trumpet in a Torelli Sinfonia while Anthony Newman conducts the English Chamber Symphony; and the Trio Avena gives us a work by Joseph Canteloubethis time not one of the “Songs of the Auvergne” but a chamber work called “Rustiques” for oboe, clarinet, and bassoon.
