Italian night at the SCO. Well almost… Schubert got no closer to Italy than listening to Rossini, but he liked what he heard and wrote this overture in imitation.
He struck gold and, in his own lifetime, it was one of his most popular works. Respighi’s languorous evocation of sunset is as ravishing as his Renaissance dances are entertaining.
Mendelssohn – who loved Italy almost as much as he loved Scotland – rounds off the evening with a dance.
