Starting in the 19 th century, transcription became a way of life for composers, pianists and performers, often playing a role in spreading music as middle-class families invited pianists into their drawing rooms to play a reduction of the latest symphony or opera for their relatives and friends. Franz Liszt is the inescapable reference point for the art of transcription, and his creations have become concert works in their own right. Conversely, Maurice Ravel set himself to orchestrating famous piano works by other composers (such as Modest Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition) as well as his own repertoire. Unanimously considered ‘the greatest French orchestrator,’ his transcriptions have become keystones of symphonic repertory.

A composition that marked the birth of the modern symphony orchestra, it was instead through the medium of the piano that Symphonie Fantastique became generally known to the public when Franz Liszt – a prime champion of the music of his friend, Hector Berlioz – made a transcription of the work for solo keyboard.
The project undertaken here by Jean-François Heisser and Marie-Josèphe Jude continues that respected tradition but it doubles the stakes and multiplies the pleasure: the expanded sound palette offered by the two-keyboard piano constructed by Pleyel and housed at Paris’s Museum of Music gives rise to unexpected colours emanating from the shared resonator box, and their fingerings (twenty fingers strong) can reproduce the minutest details of Berlioz’s dazzling, ground-breaking orchestral writing. The work of a master indeed.
