A message
from Maestro Guillermo Figueroa
Dear all,
Here are videos of a performance of the Berlioz Symphonie Fantastique that I did
with the Texas All-State Orchestra. There were 130 players, just like Berlioz
would have wanted! It’s hard to believe they are all high school kids, they’re
so good. They play hot, and with a lot of freedom and rubato, more than making
up for an occasional ensemble lapse.
Enjoy!
