Music In Bournemouth & Poole

This is a great concert for both classical music fanatics and first-time audiences, with recognisable pieces sure to be enjoyed by all.

Rossini’s bright and sunny overture preludes one of the most famous and popular of all concertos – Rodrigo’s guitar concerto, suffused with the sun-drenched melodies and balmy atmosphere of southern Spain; its achingly beautiful slow movement is perhaps the most sublime pieces of music ever written.

The Spanish passion continues with Chabrier’s dazzling rhapsody and Rimsky-Korsakov’s vibrant and colourful suite. In contrast, Borodin evokes the sweeping plains of central Asia, whilst nightmarish visions abound in Mussorgsky’s dark and brooding depiction of a Witches Sabbath.

Works and composers:
Rossini – The Barber of Seville Overture
Rodrigo – Concierto de Aranjuez with Plínio Fernandes, guitar
Chabrier – Espana
Mussorgsky – A Night on the Bare Mountain
Borodin – In the Steppes of Central Asia
Rimsky-Korsakov – Capriccio Espagnol

conducted by Tom Fetherstonhaugh
