Program:
Gioachino Rossini / Il signor Bruschino, ouverture
Pëtr Il’ič Čajkovskij / Andante cantabile for Cello & Strings

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart /Symphony n. 41 K 551 ‘Jupite
For the traditional concert on 24 December, a programme combining irony, lyricism and great classical form. On the podium Nicolò Jacopo Suppa, a young conductor on the rise, already applauded in Italian opera and symphony theatres, with an energetic and communicative style. On the cello is Ettore Pagano, one of the most interesting talents of the new generation, a soloist with a warm and natural voice.
It begins with the overture from Gioachino Rossini‘s Il signor Bruschino, a short, brilliant and highly theatrical page, followed by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky’s Andante cantabile, which originated with a string quartet and was then transcribed by the composer himself for cello and orchestra: a dense and introverted song, with a yearning lyricism.
In the centre is Igor Stravinsky‘s Suite italienne No. 1, built on themes attributed to Pergolesi, but reworked with irony and neoclassical transparency. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart‘s Symphony “Jupiter”, the pinnacle of 18th century symphonism, closes the evening: luminous, architectural, perfect to end the year with a gesture of joy and rationality.
