Sold by Alfred
Hector Berlioz wrote Rob Roy , or more properly, Intrata di Rob-Roy MacGregor , based on historical fiction by Walter Scott. Berlioz conceived and wrote this overture during his time in Italy after winning the Prix de Rome. The first performance in 1833 yielded a lukewarm reception. Berlioz later wrote, "Rob Roy overture, a long and diffuse piece, which was performed in Paris a year later [two years, in fact], very badly received by the public, and which I burnt that same day after leaving the concert." Fortunately, a copy survived, which Berlioz submitted to the Paris Conservatory as a requirement of the Prix de Rome. This arrangement of Rob Roy distills the greatest of the melodies and gives shape to the form. (4:00)
