“A Spanish Symphony”


Berlioz: Roman Carnival Overture
Lalo: Symphonie Espagnole
Christopher Collins Lee: Soloist
Sibelius: Symphony # 2

We begin with the raucous Berlioz Roman
Carnival Overture—a work taken from themes
in his opera Benvenuto Cellini. Berlioz had
a great affection for Italy; many of his works
reflect his study there. Lalo’s Symphonie
Espagnole is less a symphony than a violin
concerto, originally composed for the great
Spanish violinist Pablo de Sarasate. It
premiered a month after Bizet’s Carmen—
another Frenchman’s work featuring Spanish
musical styles. Sibelius’ Second Symphony
was composed in Italy in 1900; unlike the
Berlioz Roman Carnival Overture, though, it
doesn’t display any particular Italian influences
—it was originally thought to be a political
statement on Finnish independence, something
Sibelius vigorously disputed.
