Psst! This one's already gone.

Under the Mediterranean Sun

Olli Mustonen, conductor
Göran Söllscher, guitar
Turku Philharmonic Orchestra

Gioachino Rossini: Overture to the Opera William Tell (length 12')
Antonio Vivaldi: Concerto in D major (length 12')
Joaquín Rodrigo: Fantasia para un gentilhombre (length 22')
Intermission, length 20'
Carl Nielsen: Symphony No. 2 ‘The Four Temperaments’, op. 16 (length 30')

The brisk and breezy William Tell Overture kicks off this temperamental programme. Conducted by Olli Mustonen, the concert gives centre stage to the guitar. Vivaldi’s lucidly elegant Baroque concerto and the Fantasia by Joaquín Rodrigo based on six 17th-century dances form a wonderfully complementary pair. Both are infused with the light of the Mediterranean sun and are performed by guitar virtuoso Göran Söllscher. In Nielsen’s Symphony, meanwhile, the mood shifts according to the four temperaments of Classical Antiquity.
