About this event
- Mascagni: Cavalleria rusticana; intermezzo
- Tchaikovsky: Capriccio Italien
- Shostakovich: Piano Concerto No 2
- Verdi: La Forza del Destino Overture
- Respighi: The Pines of Rome
Conductor: Robert Guy
The season opens with one of the most recognisable melodies ever composed, Mascagni's Intermezzo is a timeless treat. The same might be said of Verdi's Force of Destiny overture, and the vigour and energy of the Tchaikovsky brings together Russian and Italian cultures in a neat link to our concerto this evening.
One of the world's favourite piano concertos, Shostakovich's second is an unusually free and light-hearted work. We are delighted to see Antonina Suhanova again after her Rachmaninov last year.
And to conclude? From the sounds of children playing and the song of the nightingale to the drama and majesty of the Roman legions marching down the Appian Way, Pines is as much an experience as a piece of music!
