The two compositions by Hector Berlioz that open the evening, Tristia and La Mort de Cléopâtre, are two early works in which are clearly outlined the funeral themes dear to the author: from Ophelia's Death and Funeral March for the last scene of Hamlet in Tristia, to La Mort de Cléopâtre, where the Egyptian queen invokes the shadows of the great pharaohs to give her the strength to commit suicide. Pictures at an Exhibition, by Modest Mussorgsky, is the most famous work by the Russian composer: originally composed for piano, and later orchestrated by Maurice Ravel, it is a series of ten suites inspired by ten paintings of an exhibition at the Russian Academy of Fine Arts, interspersed by five promenades, the walk from one painting to the next which creates the thematic link.

English

Le due composizioni di Hector Berlioz che aprono la serata, Tristia e La Mort de Cléopâtre, sono due lavori giovanili in cui si delineano i temi funebri cari all'autore: si passa dalla Morte di Ofelia e dalla Marcia funebre per l'ultima scena dell'Amleto, che compongono il Tristia, a La Mort de Cléopâtre, in cui la regina egizia invoca le ombre dei grandi faraoni per darle la forza di suicidarsi. 
Quadri di un'esposizione, di Modest Musorgskij, è l'opera più famosa del compositore russo: nata per pianoforte, poi orchestrata da Maurice Ravel, è una serie di dieci suite ispirate ad altrettanti dipinti di un'esposizione all'Accademia Russa di Belle Arti, inframmezzati da cinque promenade, le passeggiate di Musorgskij da un quadro all'altro, che costituiscono il tema musicale portante.
