The Philadelphia Orchestra in Concert on WRTI 90.1: Berlioz and Ravel Abroad

Update: 2021-06-15

Description

It was in 1832 that the great virtuoso violinist Niccolò Paganini—also an extraordinary violist—became the proud new owner of a Stradivarius viola. Wanting to show it off, but frustrated by the lack of concertos featuring the instrument, he commissioned Hector Berlioz to write a work that would help him put his purchase on display.
