Overture Ruy Blas, Op. 95

Symphony No. 2 in C major, Op. 61

ALEXANDER GAVRYLYUK piano, ERSO, conductor GIORDANO BELLINCAMPI

In April, conductor Giordano Bellincampi, whose return is always eagerly awaited by the orchestra as well as the audience, will direct ERSO. The concert playlist includes the overture Ruy Blas by Felix Mendelssohn for the play of the same name by Victor Hugo. This is the largest orchestral overture by Mendelssohn in terms of the orchestration, despite the fact that the composer admittedly completed the piece in only three days. The second half of the concert is dedicated to Robert Schumann’s Symphony No. 2. Schumann is the best example of a composer of the Romantic period – his manner of creative expression is lyrical with an emphasis on the self and he often used non-musical, primarily literary, references in his work.

Ukrainian pianist Alexander Gavrylyuk, who resides in Australia, will perform Edvard Grieg’s Piano Concerto. On one hand, this composition reflects the colours of the nature of Norway, Grieg’s home country, and on the other hand, the example set by Robert Schumann and other German masters. Gavrylyuk is a highly valued virtuoso, who is the residing artist of London Wigmore Hall in the 2023/24 season.
