Mendelssohn’s Italian Symphony with Emelyanychev – Max Bruch Double Concerto & Stenhammar’s Reverenza

Principal Guest Conductor Maxim Emelyanychev leads the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra in Max Bruch’s Double Concerto, featuring the orchestra’s own Albin Uusijärvi on viola and Andreas Sundén on clarinet, in a close interplay between dark sonorities and luminous lyricism. Next comes Wilhelm Stenhammar’s finely crafted Reverenza—a short piece full of warmth and poetry. Felix Mendelssohn’s Fourth Symphony, “The Italian,” concludes the concert with sparkling rhythms and sunny orchestral colour.
