Noah Bendix-Balgley on Leone Sinigaglia’s Romance and “Rapsodia piemontese”
Kirill Petrenko conducts Schulhoff, Sinigaglia and Zemlinsky
Under this season’s theme “Lost Generation”, Kirill Petrenko devotes this concert to three Jewish composers who suffered anti-Semitic persecution during the Nazi regime. Erwin Schulhoff’s Second Symphony fascinates in its playing with styles such as jazz. Two works full of Italian temperament by Leone Sinigaglia will be heard, with concertmaster Noah Bendix-Balgley. The concert closes with Alexander Zemlinsky’s Lyric Symphony, with Lise Davidsen and Christian Gerhaher.
