Alessandro Crudele conducts music by British and Italian composers in a concert presented by the Italian Cultural Institute.
Three great pieces from the early 20th century demonstrate the youthful exuberance of two English composers along with the search for popular themes, their variations, and the rediscovery of early music, as reflected in Respighi’s Suite No. 3.
Before the concert, acclaimed British presenter Andrew McGregor hosts a talk with the evening’s conductor, discussing the relationship between late Italian and English Romantic music.
