Elgar’s In the South captures the exhilarating feeling of an afternoon by the Ligurian coast.
Sunset comes and goes for two young lovers in Respighi’s Il tramonto, whose quiet tragedy echoes the tensions in the overture from Verdi’s Sicilian Vespers.
There’s exhilarating energy from Rossini’s William Tell overture and a chance to glance ahead to the joys of Tosca and La bohème in Puccini’s tune-filled Capriccio sinfonico.
