Mozart’s Oboe Concerto by Mendelssohn, Mozart, Ravel, Poulenc, zo. 01 dec 2024, Van (2024/2024), Dirigent Karel Deseure, Liverpool Philharmonic Hall, Liverpool, Verenigd Koninkrijk

December’s drawing in on Merseyside, but here at Liverpool Philharmonic Hall it’s summer all over again! Mendelssohn’s heart turned somersaults when he arrived in the sunshine of Italy, but today his Italian symphony is just the starting point for a whole afternoon of winter warmers. Karel Deseure conducts Ravel’s dreamy Spanish fantasy, Poulenc’s witty Sinfonietta, and Mozart’s ebullient Oboe Concerto – with the Orchestra’s very own Helena Mackie in the spotlight. It’s music that practically dances for joy.
