Berlioz 150: Harold in Italy

Antoine Tamestit, 11th February

Antoine Tamestit reflects on a much misunderstood work, initially rejected by Niccolò Paganini, and how he learnt to breathe life into the role of Byron's "Childe Harold".

Antoine Tamestit stars in the LSO's Harold in Italy

Paul Kilbey, 18th November

Violist Antoine Tamestit didn’t seem like much a soloist at the opening of Berlioz’s Harold in Italy on Tuesday night, in Valery Gergiev and the London Symphony Orchestra’s second performance of this programme at the Barbican. His viola lolling casually at his side, Tamestit gazed pleasantly at the orchestra, nodding along with them from time to time.
