2021 10 22 Dark Currents – Camille Saint-Saëns Year
Fri. 22 October 2021 20:30
Megaron – The Athens Concert Hall
Christos Lambrakis Hall
Camille Saint-Saëns Third Concerto may not enjoy the popularity of other concerti by the French Romantic composer, but it is still a wonderful work in every respect and features no shortage of innovations. Discovering it in this performance by the ever charming and irrepressibly lyrical Thodoros Tzovanakis is sure to be a highly worthwhile experience. Mendelssohn's Scottish Symphony, which starkly captures Scotland's grey, melancholy and often wild landscape and the range of emotions it gives rise to, is at the heart of the concert.
