Orchestra della Toscana
Giuseppe Mengoli, conductor
Mario Caroli, flute
***
Programme:
Sergei Prokofiev / Symphony No. 1, Op. 25 “Classical”
Joachim Andersen / Concertstück for Flute and Orchestra, Op. 3
Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy / Symphony No. 3, Op. 56 “Scottish”
Different eras and musical languages feature in the programme conducted by Giuseppe Mengoli.
The Orchestra della Toscana opens with Sergei Prokofiev’s Symphony No. 1, Op. 25 “Classical”, a modern homage to 18th-century forms, filtered through a dry and precise 20th-century sensibility. Mario Caroli then performs as soloist in Joachim Andersen’s Konzertstück Op. 3 for Flute and Orchestra, a rarely heard work that showcases the technical and expressive possibilities of the instrument.
The programme concludes with Felix Mendelssohn’s Symphony No. 3, Op. 56 “Scottish”, inspired by the composer’s journey to Scotland and characterised by a compact and evocative orchestral texture.
