Orchestra of the Welsh National Opera
Carlo Rizzi (conductor)
Elgar鈥檚 In the South captures the exhilarating feeling of an afternoon by the Ligurian coast. Sunset comes and goes for two young lovers in Respighi鈥檚 Il tramonto, whose quiet tragedy echoes the tensions in the overture from Verdi鈥檚 Sicilian Vespers. There鈥檚 exhilarating energy from Rossini鈥檚 William Tell overture, and a chance to glance ahead to the joys of Tosca and La boh猫me in Puccini鈥檚 tune-filled Capriccio sinfonico.
