Interval - French music including 'Quels doux concerts' from Rameau's Hippolyte et Aricie, Ravel's Don Quichotte a Dulcin茅e, and a performance, by two viols, of the Concerto No. 12 from Couperin's Les gouts-r茅unis.

Berlioz: Symphonie Fantastique

Jean-Efflam Bavouzet (piano)
成人快手 Symphony Orchestra
Pascal Roph茅 (conductor)

An evening of dazzling Gallic genius, led by Pascal Roph茅. The supernatural comes to the fore: in C茅sar Franck's symphonic poem a count dares to go hunting on a Sunday morning, in violation of the Sabbath. Cursed, he is condemned to be pursued by demons for eternity. Berlioz's Symphonie Fantastique ends with a witches' Sabbath as the febrile imagination of the talented lovesick young artist plumbs the heights and depths - under the influence of opium.

Ravel's transparent Piano Concerto for the Left Hand is performed by the award-winning Jean-Efflam Bavouzet, whose eloquence and artistry have won him fans across the globe.
