Given the size of the orchestra, a ‘transcription’, an ‘adaptation’ was necessary or in Arthur Lavandier’s words a ‘recreation’ – a term that we will retain since it was he who undertook this hazardous task. It is not a case of Berlioz against Lavandier, and the contrary even less so. It is an ‘encounter of a third kind’, a mosaic challenge, an open-minded tribute, an orchestral game, and shared laughter despite the centuries that divide them both. We could also say that it was like a fan- tasy film re-make.

  • Hector Berlioz Harold in Italy, Op. 16
    PROGRAM NOTES by Phillip Huscher Hector Berlioz Born December 11, 1803, Côte-Saint-André, France. Died March 8, 1869, Paris, France. Harold in Italy, Op. 16 Berlioz composed Harold in Italy in 1834. The first performance was given on November 23 of that year in Paris. The score calls for solo viola and an orchestra consisting of two flutes and piccolo, two oboes and english horn, two clarinets, four bassoons, four horns, two cornets and two trumpets, three trombones and tuba, timpani, snare drum, triangle, cymbals, harp, and strings. Performance time is approximately forty-two minutes. The Chicago Symphony Orchestra's first performances of Berlioz's Harold in Italy were given on subscription concerts at the Auditorium Theatre on March 11 and 12, 1892 with August Junker as soloist and Theodore Thomas conducting. At one of the first performances of his blockbuster Symphonie fantastique, Hector Berlioz noticed that a man stayed behind in the empty concert hall after the ovations had ended and the musicians were packing up to go home. He was, as Berlioz recalls in his Memoirs, "a man with long hair and piercing eyes and a strange, ravaged countenance, a creature haunted by genius, a Titan among giants, whom I had never seen before, the first sight of whom stirred me to the depths." The man stopped Berlioz in the hallway, grabbed his hand, and "uttered glowing eulogies that thrilled and moved me to the depths. It was Paganini." Paganini, is, of course, Italian-born Nicolò Paganini, among the first of music's one-name sensations. In 1833, the year he met Berlioz, Paganini was one of music's greatest celebrities, known for the almost superhuman virtuosity of his violin playing as well as his charismatic, commanding presence.
