Berlioz's Symphonie fantastique
The Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra is joined by Jess Gillam for a UK premiere, before Mark Wigglesworth conducts Berlioz's Symphonie fantastique.
The Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra is conducted by Mark Wigglesworth in a varied programme, beginning with a rare opportunity to hear the overture from an early comic opera by Wagner. Then Jess Gillam joins the orchestra for the UK premiere of Dani Howard's Saxophone Concerto, a homage to the instrument's inventor Adolphe Sax. Hector Berlioz was a good friend of Sax, and was the first composer to write a piece for the new instrument. The concert ends with Berlioz's expression of forbidden love, his Symphonie fantastique.
Recorded on November 5th, presented from The Lighthouse in Poole by Martin Handley.
