Diego Matheuz / Enrico Dindo

A new creation by Paolo Marzocchi introduces the Concerto for cello and orchestra by Robert Schumann. Completed in just one week in October 1850, but unexecuted for a decade due to inability to find a qualified soloist, is a "serene piece", as the artist himself describe it, where it does not transpire the mental conditions that soon would inexorably drag his author to madness and to premature death at fortysix years. The birth of the Symphony no. 3 is complex: conceived in 1829 during a visit to the ruins of Holyrood Abbey in Edinburgh, it remained a draft until 1842 when Felix Mendelssohn completed his last symphony, remembering that distant Scottish trip.
