A fortnight of French music (II)
Two composers, two centuries, two masterpieces. Marc Coppey, a cellist with an international career, performs the introspective Cello Concerto by Henri Dutilleux, one of our greatest living composers. In the second half of the programme, Vassilis Christopoulos conducts Berlioz’ Symphonie Fantastique, a cornerstone of the Romantic repertoire and one of the most stirring symphonic works of all time.
