Berlioz, Symphonie fantastique
Channing Yu, conductor
The Mercury Orchestra, national winner of the 2010 American Prize for Orchestral Performance, presents two highly colorful and evocative showpieces for symphony orchestra.
Stravinsky’s score for the ballet Petrushka, commissioned by Sergei Diaghilev for the Ballets Russes, uses a tapestry of Russian folk tunes to conjure the brilliant sights and sounds of a local carnival where puppets seem to possess real lives of their own.
Hector Berlioz’s Symphonie fantastique, subtitled “An Episode in the Life of an Artist,” has held audiences under its spell for almost two hundred years, with its vivid exploration of a young man’s obsessive dreams and hallucinations of his beloved.
