François-Xavier Roth
Poetic, sensual, and rich in timbre, she tells the story of Faust, who sells his soul to meet the beautiful Helena. In his Symphonie dramatique Roméo et Juliette, Hector Berlioz brings perhaps the greatest of all love stories to life with dazzling orchestral timbres.
François-Xavier Roth opens the program with Richard Strauss’s Metamorphosen: a work that is both sonorous and fragile, with which the composer mourned the destruction of World War II.
