'Big, Bold and Brassy' ...That’s how some might describe the music of Hector Berlioz and Anton Bruckner - the subjects of our August musical adventures. Huge symphonic scores with equally huge orchestras and choirs to perform them were features of much of their compositional work. But it wasn’t all like that. Delving deeper you come across a number of works of melodic and lyrical beauty
.
All in all, it’s been a real venture into the unknown, more or less, for our group (presenter included) to study these composers and their music, and therefore a large, but enjoyable, learning curve in our musical appreciation. Check it all out in the programme notes for both composers which also contain the Youtube links for the music that was presented. Enjoy!!

23rd August - Louis-Hector Berlioz
