Osn: Nicolas Altstaedt dà voce al Re Salomone con Schelomo di Bloch

Synopsis

From the Rai ‘Arturo Toscanini’ Auditorium comes the debut concert of Franco-German cellist Nicolas Altstaedt with the Rai Orchestra, performing the Jewish rhapsody for cello and orchestra *Schelomo*, one of Ernest Bloch’s best-known works. Tomáš Netopil takes to the podium and, to open the programme, presents the Rai premiere in Turin of the Overture from the third act of the opera Bouře (The Tempest), written in 1895 by the composer Zdeněk Fibich and based on Shakespeare’s play. The evening concludes with Antonín Dvořák’s Symphony No. 8 in G major, Op. 88, composed in 1889 in Prague and known as the ‘English’ Symphony.
