Postponed until the winter of 2022, the collaboration with the violin and double bass solos of the Orchestra of La Scala in Milan will finally take place, and in a different program than the one initially planned.
The Symphonists are particularly happy to have these two musicians with both regional, since Francesco De Angelis is a professor at the HEMU in Sion, and international influence.
Three Italies means first of all radically different styles of composition, as well as three worlds sometimes in opposition. Inspired by a trip, Mendelssohn drew on the characteristic rhythms and motifs of Italian dances to compose his fourth symphony. The highly imaginative style of a film music regular like Nino Rota brings to the program its share of curiosity and discovery. And, at the heart of the program, the concerto of a brilliant double bass player and composer who knew how to highlight his instrument in very demonstrative pieces of exceptional difficulty. A perfect opportunity to call upon these two very talented soloists from the region where Giovanni Bottesini was born.
