Saturday, 27 March 2010, 20:00 - 00:00 by yorksymphonyorchestra

Conductor: Alasdair Jamieson
Leader: Claire Jowett

PROGRAMME

Walton: Spitfire Prelude and Fugue
Mendelssohn: Violin Concerto in E minor, op. 64 (Soloist: Dorin Tuca)
Martucci: Symphony No. 1 in D minor, op. 75

 

Walton transformed his music for the 1942 film The First of the Few into the present concert work. We welcome the young Romanian violinist Dorin Tuca as soloist in Mendelssohn’s well-known Concerto in E minor, the glorious lyrical outpouring that constitutes the composer’s last orchestral work. Martucci (1856-1909) was one of a small group of Italian composers who concentrated on instrumental music when everyone else was writing opera. The first of his two symphonies reveals a distinct musical personality with pronounced melodic and architectonic gifts.
