ORT | Ceretta_Pagano

On August 5, in Badia a Passignano, the concert featuring Diego Ceretta (conductor) and Ettore Pagano (cello) with the Orchestra della Toscana.

Program
Gioachino Rossini / Une Larme, per violoncello e archi (trascrizione di Eliodoro Sollima)
Camille Saint-Saëns / Cello Concerto No.1 Op.33
Franz Schubert / Ouverture in the Italian Style D 591
Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy / Symphony No.4 Op.90

Diego Ceretta conducts the ORT for the last engagement on the calendar with I Concerti di Badia 2024.

On the programme, Une Larme (“a tear”), a short and intense piece for cello, one of Gioachino Rossini‘s most touching, here in the version revisited by pianist and composer Eliodoro Sollima and with which Ettore Pagano will have to prove himself; as well as in the performance of Concerto No. 1 for cello and orchestra op.33 by Saint-Saëns, which rests on “a structural illusion”: on the surface it is in a single symphonic movement, but in reality the Concerto is divided into three proper movements between which there is no break.
A hint of Rossini returns to the concert, with Franz Schubert‘s lively, Italian-style Overture D 591, a composition in which the Austrian seems to want to pay homage to his counterpart from Pesaro.

Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy‘s Symphony No. 4 op.90, also known as l’Italiana, composed after his trip to Italy in 1830-31, visiting Rome and Naples, and whose Italic influence can be felt in the sunny final Saltarello, echoing folk dances with a latin flavour.
