RTVE Orchestra Madrid

The Symphony Orchestra and Chorus of RTVE play Bizet and Berlioz in the Teatro Monumental, Madrid. Conducted by Kazuki Yamada.

Fiona Talkington presents a highlight from last year's concert season.

Japonese conductor Kazuki Yamada directs the Coro de la Comunidad de Madrid and the tenor François Paolino in the ‘Te Deum’ by Berlioz.

The programme begins with the Symphony in C by Bizet, and early work, in which the composer of Carmen demonstrates his innate flair for orchestration.

In the second half, the enormous forces of the RTVE Symphony Orchestra and Chorus and the Coro de la Comunidad de Madrid perform the Te Deum by Berlioz, an oratorio of colossal scale and rarely performed for that reason. Tenor François Piolino is the soloist. The programme begins with Bizet’s Symphony in C.
Concert given in Feburary, 2019.
