About This Song
About "Roméo et Juliette, Op. 17 / Part 4 : Berlioz: Roméo et Juliette, Op. 17 / Part 4: Scherzo. La Reine Mab ou la Fée des songes" by Boston Symphony Orchestra
Berlioz’s Queen Mab scherzo is a gossamer nightmare, a fleet-footed sprite dancing through dreams. The Boston Symphony conjures a whirlwind of delicate strings and puckish woodwinds, capturing the paradox of lightness and menace. It’s a fleeting, quicksilver portrait of the fairy realm’s mischievous caprice.
