Elim Chan returns to the Concertgebouw Orchestra with two compelling works: a colourful selection from Prokofiev's ballet 'Romeo and Juliet' is preceded by Mendelssohn's sunny Fourth Symphony. In this 'Italian' symphony, Mendelssohn, who was only 24 years old at the time, incorporated his impressions from a tour of Italy. The rolling landscapes, Venetian gondolas, art treasures in Florence and Rome, the people and their culture, all resonate in this optimistic music full of Mediterranean warmth. 

Thanks to Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet have been famous for centuries. The rivalry between their families stood in the way of their love, and such a romance is of course doomed to fail. It inspired Prokofiev to create a ballet full of captivating music: each piece is even more beautiful than the last. Conductor Elim Chan presents her selection.
