All-Star Orchestra

From Italy and Hungary with Love

21-year old Felix Mendelssohn was swept away by the songs, scenery and romance of Italy, and he captured these sensations in his eternally youthful “Italian” Symphony. The great Hungarian composer Zoltán Kodály evoked Gyspy musicians and folk-singers from his childhood in the passionate “Dances of Galanta.” Alan Hovhaness’ haunting “Prayer of St Gregory” concludes the program.
