French connections - a concert of Cherubini, Berlioz and Mozart, given at London's Queen Elizabeth Hall by the OAE.
Little known he may be now, but Cherubini was highly rated by none other than Beethoven, with the composer regarding him as the greatest of his contemporaries. The Overture and an Aria from his opera Medea, which was championed by Maria Callas, no less, represent him here. Cherubini's contemporary Etienne M茅hul is perhaps even less known now but again, was highly regarded in his day. His noble Symphony 4 is performed this evening. The concert is rounded off with Berlioz's tour de force for soprano and Mozart's Paris Symphony.
