In Berlioz’s “Harold in Italy,” transcribed for viola and piano by Franz Liszt, the Romantic hero finds himself in the bracing mountain air. The unique and powerful voice of Fanny Mendelssohn Hensel brings this program to a dazzling conclusion in her Piano Trio, performed by the Festival’s 2022 Apprentices.
