Overture-Hector Berlioz was known for his innovative and creative musical gestures. He composed the opera Benvenuto Cellini in 1838 based on the fascinating life of a 16th century Italian goldsmith of the same name. Unfortunately the work as a whole never gained much popularity however its colourful and exciting overture has on the other hand become a firm favourite. Tohru Takahashi has created a stunning concert band arrangement of this well-known overture.
