Haydn’s Symphony No.59 ‘Fire’ ignites proceedings with a rising and falling of intense scales, backed by a driving rhythm that showcases the power of the orchestra as a musical force. Fanny Mendelssohn’s wrought and intricate Quartet for Strings showcases an undercurrent of emotional weight that exudes beauty and musical candour. Bartok’s colourful and lively Romanian Folk Dances draws inspiration from Eastern Europe’s rich folk tradition and has become one of the composer’s most beloved works. Saint-George’s intricate Symphony No.1 showcases the dynamic range and virtuosity of the orchestra’s string section, weaving notes into a rich tapestry melody and emotion. The programme closes with one of Mozart’s known early symphonies and an absolute landmark in his career and music history, Symphony No.29.
