Italian-born Lorenza Borrani is fast becoming one of the SCO’s closest friends and collaborators. She returns for her second concert this Season with an evening of wit, humour and magical evocations.
With its dashing melodies and its musical pranks, the Eighth is Beethoven’s sunniest, happiest Symphony – and the ideal match for Borrani’s vivacious style. She contrasts it with the high emotions and deep drama of the composer’s miniature opera scene ‘Ah, perfido!’.
There’s more humour in Rossini’s boisterous Barber of Seville Overture, and Britten conjures exquisite musical visions in his enchanting tribute to his beloved teacher.
