This article appeared in yesterday’s New York Times, calculated to whet the appetite for the impending Bard Music Festival, “Hector Berlioz and His World.”

It concludes with a great assessment of the composer by his contemporary, Ferdinand Hiller. I like the thought that Berlioz doesn’t belong in our solar system. It’s a very Berliozian observation.
