Pour accueillir Sir John Eliot Gardiner et son Orchestre Révolutionnaire et Romantique, l’Opéra Royal de Versailles a reconstitué le décor d’un « concert monstre » donné par Berlioz il y a 170 ans.

À la Philharmonie, l'Orchestre de Paris invite Jakub Hrůša à la direction, le violoniste Renaud Capuçon et la mezzo-soprano Stéphanie d'Oustac pour un programme riche et varié.

Den Aufführenden gelang eine neuerlich herzerfüllende Präsentation jahrhunderteübergreifender Tänze auf den Instrumenten der jeweiligen Zeit, wobei Véronique Gens mit ihrer zeitlosen Ausstrahlung beeindruckte.

Andris Nelsons conducts the young musicians of the Tanglewood Music Center Orchestra in Berlioz and Mahler. 

A sublime performance of Berlioz' La Mort de Cléopâtre by Joyce DiDonato, Riccardo Muti and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra overshadows the rest of a Rome-inspired concert at Carnegie Hall.

This was astonishing and gripping vocalism from a true master of Berlioz style.

Antoine Tamestit takes a peripatetic approach to Byron's brooding hero, while Joyce DiDonato dies – twice – as Cleopatra and Dido. 

The Seattle Symphony, under the outstanding leadership of guest conductor Giancarlo Guerrero, overcame the absence of their maestro and gave a worthy reading of the monumental work.

Two classic scores by Berlioz and a musical memorial to Bliss’ brother made a deep impression. 

A sensational finale to Beethoven's Fifth concludes the Orchestre Révolutionnaire et Romantique's 25th birthday concert, following a fine display of vocal excellence by Anna Caterina Antonacci.

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.

Performing works by Maurice Ravel and Hector Berlioz Wednesday night, the London Philharmonic Orchestra (LPO), conducted by Yannik Nézet-Séguin with guest soprano Anna Caterina Antonacci, captivated audiences with both charming, childlike prose and chilling orchestral music.
