Beatrice Rana shines with Prokofiev - Daniel Harding, Beatrice Rana

Het Orchestra dell’Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia is a concept that reaches far beyond the Italian borders. Antwerp is no longer a stranger to this top orchestra. Under the leadership of Daniel Harding, a conductor who has been causing a stir on the biggest stages for years, they bring a program in which Italy acts as a pivot point. Tchaikovsky’s Romeo and Juliet: Fantasy Overture unfolds a dramatic sound painting, which immediately hits home. In the middle of this concert, star pianist Beatrice Rana shines with her crystal-clear technique and poetic intensity in Prokofjevs Derde piano concerto, which, by the way, came about after a visit to Italy. Then Sibelius’ Second Symphony leads us from Italian inspiration to northern monumentality. Santa Cecilia and Harding, a golden tandem within the classical music world, bring a concert that wonderfully embraces the European music landscape. More to experience With free introduction at 19:15
