Micro-Masterpieces Symphonic - Classical - Romantic: Il barbiere di Siviglia Rossini (+2 More)

“With Mozart's Symphony No.39, we are starting a mini-cycle of the last three Mozart Symphonies (rarely played by QSO) which will continue from 2023 to 2025.

All the music in this concert gravitates around my programmatic theme of 2023: the Classical era. And with this concert, we farewell it. Every piece is an homage to Mozart’s art: Prokofiev with his classical symphony and Schubert with the Fifth, clearly inspired by Mozart who he admired deeply. ‘O Mozart, immortal Mozart, how many, oh how endlessly many such comforting perceptions of a brighter and better life hast thou brought to our souls!’ (F. Schubert). Finally, Rossini is considered by many to be the ‘Italian Mozart’ and he refused to adapt to Romanticism.”

- UMBERTO CLERICI

For Umberto’s final performances of 2023, he has packed in as much symphonic goodness as possible, with a selection of shorter symphonies that demonstrate the power of focused creativity. Each is less than half an hour, but contains a wealth of musical ideas. If that wasn’t enough, we’re also including surely one of the most famous Italian compositions of all time - The Barber of Seville overture.
