Berlioz : La Symphonie Fantastique With John Eliot Gardiner At The Royal Opera Of Versailles «白遼士樂滿凡爾賽皇家歌劇院»

Berlioz︰ La Symphonie Fantastique With John Eliot Gardiner At The Royal Opera Of Versailles «白遼士樂滿凡爾賽皇家歌劇院»嘉狄拿與革命浪漫樂團致力推廣白遼士的音樂，並探索比以往更多樣化的演出，由虛張聲勢的《海盜》序曲，到喚起古代兩個華麗奪目的異國女王：狄多（選自《特洛伊人》）及埃及艷后（選自清唱劇《埃及艷后》），最後以《幻想交響曲》作結。

今場音樂會特別挑選在凡爾賽皇家歌劇院舉行，因為劇院內於1837年設計的獨特裝潢，正是白遼士所以熟識，而他也在1848年在凡爾賽舉行過音樂會。歌劇院更為這場演出專程進行修復和佈置。與樂團攜手演出的還有世界一流的獨奏家，包括法國女中音莉莎杜。革命浪漫樂團於1989年由嘉狄拿創立，目標是將著名的英國巴洛克獨奏家的風格和雄厚感情，準確注入19世紀和20世紀初的音樂中。樂團對多首早期浪漫作曲家的詮釋，皆獲得國際認可。其中白遼士的作品《幻想交響曲》，就曾於1830年在舊巴黎音樂學院的音樂廳裡首演，而樂團也特別選擇這個地點重新演奏並灌錄這首作品。

Sir John Eliot Gardiner and the Orchestre Révolutionnaire et Romantique continue their commitment to the music of Berlioz, with a more varied exploration than ever: from to the swashbuckling Corsaire overture, and dazzling evocations of two ancient exotic queens: Dido (in an excerpt from Les Troyens) and Cleopatra in the eponymous cantata. With the Symphonie Fantastique completing the programme.Held at the Royal Opera of Versailles with a unique decor designed in 1837, which Berlioz himself would have known during his concert in Versailles in 1848. Dating from the reign of Louis-Philippe, it has been restored and installed especially for this performance before being put away again. A world-class roster of acclaimed soloists join the orchestra including French mezzo-soprano Lucile Richardot.Founded in 1989 by John Eliot Gardiner, the ORR aims to bring the stylistic fidelity and intensity of expression of the renowned English Baroque Soloists to the music of the 19th and early 20th centuries. The Orchestra has been internationally recognised for its interpretations of all the major early Romantic composers, starting with Hector Berlioz. They performed and recorded his Symphonie Fantastique in the hall of the old Paris Conservatoire, where the very first performance took place in 1830.
