"Concierto para una fiesta" (Concert for a Party) was Joaquin Rodrigo's final work for solo guitar and orchestra. Rodrigo recreates a festive atmosphere through vibrant dance-rhythms and a mirthful spirit, yet underscores the piece with tranquility and sadness. Guitarist David Russel highlights the contrasting nature of Rodrigo's music, joined by the Naples Philharmonic Orchestra under Erich Kunzel.
Also tonight, the Ciompi String Quartet perform English composer Frank Bridge's String Quartet No. 4, and the Gothenberg Symphony takes on Borodin's Second Symphony. Later in the evening we'll hear a Scandinavian take on Mozart's famous Sinfonia Concertante from the Stockholm Sinfonietta; Bernt Lysell and Nils-Erik Sparf perform the string solos.
