Finzi, Chopin and Mendelssohn
Finzi Overture to Love's Labours Lost
Chopin Piano Concerto No.2
Mendelssohn 'Italian' Symphony
Pierre Vallet Conductor
Elizabeth Sombart Piano
The world-famous Royal Philharmonic Orchestra opens the Summer Music in City Churches festival with a programme of joyful, romantic music. Finzi's Introduction to Love's Labours Lost (written for a production of Shakespeare's play) sets the tone for the whole week. Acclaimed French pianist Elizabeth Sombart joins the orchestra for Chopin's Second Piano Concerto with its slow movement of great beauty inspired, apparently, by the composer's love for another. Mendelssohn's 'Italian' Symphony encapsulates the composer's love affair with Italy, full of exuberance and sunshine.
