Pieter Hellendaal
Composer Pieter Hellendaal left his native Netherlands to seek fame and fortune in 18th century London, and probably would have found it too — if he hadn't been overshadowed by some guy named George Frideric Handel. Tonight we'll hear one of Hellendaal's wonderful (albeit underappreciated) concerti grossi from the European Community Baroque Orchestra.
Some other lesser-known composers top the list tonight as well: Pepe Romero strums his way through Ferdinando Carulli's guitar concerto, and Paul Freeman ventures into Leo Sowerby's "Prarie Poem" with the Czech National Symphony in tow. Later on, we'll hear the Symphony No. 1 by Russian composer Vassili Kalinnikov, a sort of Borodin/Tchaikovsky/Rimsky-Korsakov hybrid. In closing, Lorin Maazel and the Bavarian Radio Symphony lead us back to more familiar ground with Strauss's famous tone poem, "Don Quixote."
