When Berlioz encountered a set of poems
by his friend Théophile Gautier which told
of love passionate, unrequited and lost,
his reaction was typically intense. Berlioz
immediately set the songs to music – first
for soprano with piano, then with orchestra.
In the colour, sensuousness and grace of
‘Nuits d’été’, Berlioz “sowed the seeds for
the entire musical lyricism of the nineteenth
century in the French language”, according
to one musicologist. Ryan Wigglesworth
also includes Mozart’s most miraculous
piano concerto, Ravel’s plangent memorial
to lost friends and his own ‘Inventions’.
With a pre-concert talk.
