"Classic" classics from Mozart (the 4th Horn Concerto and "Haffne" Symphony) and Haydn (the trumpet Concerto, the "London" Symphony) tonight.
In addition to the Messiaen work on the program, Ravel's "Piano Concerto in G Minor" is featured with Jean-Yves Thibaudet as soloist.
Three days. That's all it took. Shostakovich wrote the "Festive Overture" in 1954 for the 37th Anniversary of the 'October Revolution' in three days!
Tonight's works are filled with the feeling of 'pride in one's homeland' and/or they've borrowed things from the common culture and used them in orchestral works (nationalism as it is called).
