About the video
- Filmed in November 2019.
- The video is approximately 22 minutes.
A sinfonia concertante can be described as a cross between a symphony and an instrumental concerto with multiple soloists. One of the finest examples of a sinfonia concertante is this one by Haydn for oboe, bassoon, violin and cello. Four orchestra members will perform the solos this time: Andrej Power on violin, Johannes Rostamo on cello, Jesper Harrysson on oboe and Jens-Christoph Lemke on bassoon.
This music by renowned master Haydn blends the different sounds and virtuosity of the four solo instruments with elegance and intensity. In the elevated, beautiful second movement, the four soloists follow one another as if in peaceful conversation, while the finale is a vivacious rondo in which the four soloists gain extra energy from the accelerating orchestra.
This was Italian conductor, pianist and early music expert Luca Guglielmi’s debut with the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra.
