Orchestra della Toscana
Kolja Blacher, conductor
Dayoon You, violin

Programme:
Richard Wagner / Siegfried Idyll
Sergei Prokofiev / Violin Concerto No. 2, Op. 63
Franz Schubert / Symphony No. 5, D 485
German and Russian repertoire from the 19th and 20th centuries feature in the programme conducted by Kolja Blacher.
With the Orchestra della Toscana, the concert opens with Siegfried Idyll by Richard Wagner, a piece for chamber orchestra composed in 1870 as a gift to Cosima Wagner and associated with an intimate, family atmosphere. Dayoon You then takes the solo part in Sergei Prokofiev’s Violin Concerto No. 2, Op. 63, a work from 1935 in which cantabile, rhythmic tension and instrumental colours intertwine in an essential and incisive score.
The balance between lyricism and formal precision sets the stage for the transition to Schubertian clarity. The programme concludes with Franz Schubert’s Symphony No. 5 in D major, D 485, composed in 1816, a luminous and intimate work, close in its formal clarity and orchestral lightness to the Mozartian model.
