New! Messiaen and Berlioz Featured on the BSO Classical Companion! Watch engaging biographies, historical contexts, and listening guides about Messiaen and Berlioz's life and music. more >

In this all-French program, BSO principal violist Steven Ansell is soloist in Berlioz's Harold in Italy. The title is a reference to Byron's Childe Harold. Messiaen's Et exspecto is one of the composer's profound statements of his Catholic faith, dazzlingly scored for an orchestra of winds and percussion. The orchestral versions of the first four of Boulez's Notations, originally for piano, recall both Messiaen and Debussy.
