| Biography | The Filarmonica della Scala, the orchestra of Milans world-renowned opera house La Scala, has been lauded as Italys finest symphony orchestra.
Its partnership with the historic opera houses Music Director Riccardo Chailly, famed for his own towering musical personality and vital music-making, summons performances of astonishing potency and subtlety.
Together, they look to Eastern Europe and beyond for the first of two concerts. They are joined by violinist and violist Julian Rachlin for the elegance and dancing rhythms of Bartóks Viola Concerto, before Shostakovichs remarkable Twelfth Symphony. They open with the warm nostalgia of Enescus lyrical Second Romanian Rhapsody.
This concert will be broadcast on BBC Radio 3 on 15 September |
