The Salt Lake Symphony opens their 44th season with Cesar Franck’s chilling, rarely performed "Le Chasseur Maudit" (The Accursed Huntsman) and the monumental "Symphonie Fantastique" by Hector Berlioz
Beware the idee fixe! Berlioz broke the mold and changed history with his monumental score to Symphonie Fantastique. More than merely a big work with massive forces, it’s a deeply personal vision of both love and obsession that touches from every corner of the mind, with a final stop in an imagined Hell of the artist’s own devices. Berlioz’s inventive compositional style and thrilling music set the standard for most of the programmatic music that followed in the 19th century, especially where a touch of the supernatural was involved. We open the program with one of those very pieces he influenced, Cesar Franck’s rarely performed Le Chasseur maudit (The Accursed Huntsman). It’s a thrilling, and slightly chilling, way to open our 44th season that we know you will love to death!
