Respighi Fountains of Rome (16’) | Walton Cello Concerto (27’) | Sibelius Symphony No.2 (42’)
The BBC Philharmonic opens its new season with a real Italian job, featuring two works influenced by and written in Italy: William Walton’s rhapsodic Cello Concerto, inspired by the postcard-perfect island of Ischia, and Sibelius’s magnificent Second Symphony. To open, Respighi’s cherished tribute to the Eternal City.
Due to unforeseen circumstances, Truls Mørk is unable to attend. He is replaced by Alban Gerhardt on the cello.
