Botticelli Tryptich
Evening Music | May 6, 2010
A master of orchestral painting, Ottorino Respighi turned to another master for his "Botticelli Tryptich": Italian Renaissance artist Sandro Botticelli. We'll hear this charming work tonight from the Long Beach Symphony Orchestra under JoAnn Falletta.
Although Ernest Chausson made his mark writing French mélodies, he also wrote some remarkable instrumental works. Violinist Régis Pasquier and Pianist Jean-Claude Pennetier lead an all-star French ensemble in Chausson's mercurial Concert for Violin, Piano and String Quartet. Also tonight: Beethoven's Eighth Symphony with the Orchestra of the 18th Century, and Prokofiev's Third Piano Concerto with soloist Gary Graffman.
