    Booklet

    Eleven reflections on the theme of death and a naturalistic scene are featured in the program conducted by the immensely talented Riccardo Bisatti, 24, principal guest conductor of the “Rossini” Orchestra of Pesaro. A view of nature inspired by a passage from Virgil’s Georgics—the description of a murmuring stream that quenches the parched fields—is what Samuel Barber offers in his Adagio for Strings, undoubtedly one of the most famous pieces in the American classical repertoire. Death, on the other hand, pervades Dmitri Shostakovich’s Symphony No. 14, an introspective Soviet requiem for string chamber orchestra and percussion, with two vocal soloists. Death is depicted as an inevitable, tragic, cruel, and absurd event. It is seen as the end of everything, not a passage to a better world. “This symphony is meant to be a sort of farewell to life, a kind of testament. But I hope that after today’s performance, as you leave, you will say that life is wonderful!” said the composer at age sixty-three.
    The two featured soloists are soprano Alessia Panza, 26 (who has already sung with the Vienna and Berlin Philharmonics), and Adolfo Corrado, winner of the BBC Cardiff Singer of the World Award 2023.
