The Orchestra dell’Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia is renowned far beyond Italy. Under the baton of the celebrated conductor Daniel Harding, they present a programme pivoting on Italian inspiration. Tchaikovsky’s dramatic Romeo and Juliet: Fantasy Overture sets the stage. Star pianist Beatrice Rana then shines with her crystalline technique and poetic intensity in Prokofiev’s Third Piano Concerto, conceived after a visit to Italy. Sibelius’s Second Symphony provides a monumental Nordic conclusion. This golden partnership delivers a concert beautifully embracing the European musical landscape.
