Christmas Concert
Orchestra della Toscana
Diego Ceretta, conductor
***
Programme:
Johann Sebastian Bach – Ottorino Respighi / Three Chorales
Johannes Brahms / Variations on a Theme by Haydn, Op. 56a
Robert Schumann / Symphony No. 1, Op. 38 ‘Spring’
For the traditional Christmas Concert, Diego Ceretta conducts the Orchestra della Toscana in a programme combining Bach, Brahms and Schumann.
The concert opens with Johann Sebastian Bach’s Three Chorales for Organ in an orchestral transcription by Ottorino Respighi, who reinterprets Bach’s writing through the colours of the twentieth-century orchestra. This is followed by Variations on a Theme by Haydn, Op. 56a by Johannes Brahms, an example of formal balance and rich timbre, built upon a progressive transformation of the thematic material.
The concert concludes with Symphony No. 1, Op. 38 “Spring” by Robert Schumann, animated by a luminous character and a strong romantic impetus.
