Orchestra della Toscana
Diego Ceretta, conductor
Silvia Chiesa, cello
***
Programme:
Igor Fyodorovich Stravinsky / Dumbarton Oaks
Alfredo Casella / Concerto for Cello and Orchestra, Op. 58
Ludwig van Beethoven / Symphony No. 6, Op. 68 ‘Pastoral’
From the 20th century to the Beethoven repertoire: this is the scope of the programme conducted by Diego Ceretta. The Orchestra della Toscana opens with Dumbarton Oaks by Igor Stravinsky, a chamber concerto from the composer’s neoclassical period, characterised by clear, contrapuntal writing.
References to Baroque forms coexist with a crisp, modern rhythmic structure. At the heart of the evening, Silvia Chiesa is the soloist in Alfredo Casella’s Concerto for Cello and Orchestra, Op. 58, a significant work in the 20th-century Italian repertoire.
The programme concludes with Ludwig van Beethoven’s Symphony No. 6, Op. 68 “Pastoral”, in which references to nature are translated into a symphonic form of great balance and expressive immediacy.
