I love classical music and for me it was a great surprise to read that Claudio Abbado was going to conduct the opening concert of Ravenna Festival 2010. An occasion not to be missed, so I booked my tickets.
Unfortunately Mr. Abbado had to cancel all his June dates due to health problem and he suggested that his pupil Diego Matheuz could conduct the "Mozart Orchestra" at the opening concert.
The whole program was
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Sinfonia n. 41 in do maggiore K 551 “Jupiter” (1788)
Sergej Prokof’ev
Concerto per pianoforte e orchestra n. 3 in do maggiore op. 26 (1921)
solista Nikolai Demidenko
Felix Mendelssohn
Sinfonia n. 4 in la maggiore, op. 90 “Italiana” (1833)
Sinfonia n. 41 in do maggiore K 551 “Jupiter” (1788)
Sergej Prokof’ev
Concerto per pianoforte e orchestra n. 3 in do maggiore op. 26 (1921)
solista Nikolai Demidenko
Felix Mendelssohn
Sinfonia n. 4 in la maggiore, op. 90 “Italiana” (1833)
Needless to say, the whole concert was breathtaking. I was impressed by the power of Diego Matheuz, also given his young age (he's 26).
