...gold above the stage, one is always prepared for an impressive concert. And the Boston Symphony Orchestra does not disappoint -- its all-Berlioz concert was truly enjoyable. The orchestra performed three of Hector Berlioz's less known works: the Waverly overture (1827), La Mort d'Orphee (1827) and Te Deum...
After intermission, the final work, Te Deum, brought the audience to its feet with thunderous applause. This piece utilized a tenor, a full choir and a children's chorus.

Overall, this was an excellent concert, and kudos go to all musicians involved in bringing Berlioz's music to life...
