The LSO and Sir Antonio Pappano

Sir Antonio Pappano and The London Symphony Orchestra explore some of the less well-known byways of Italian music, including Gabrieli, Vivaldi, Petrassi and Puccini.

Presented by Martin Handley

Sir Antonio Pappano explores some of the less well-known byways of Italian music, including Gabrieli, Vivaldi, Petrassi and Puccini.

The concert opens with two of Giovanni Gabrieli鈥檚 canzone for multiple brass choirs, specially designed to suit the acoustics of a Venetian church. After a Vivaldi masterpiece much admired by Bach comes one of Petrassi鈥檚 eight Concertos for Orchestra 鈥� No 5 is a virtuoso tour-de-force written to show off the brilliance of the Boston Symphony. In his graduation piece for the Milan Conservatory, the Capriccio Sinfonico, Puccini set the scene for later works: themes from La Boh猫me and Tosca appear more or less note by note. The extraordinary Juventus of 1919 by Victor de Sabata is a luscious hymn to youth by a composer who would become one of Italy鈥檚 greatest conductors.
