From the Icon of Bel Canto to a Genius of Minimalism

David Robertson conducts the Osesp in a programme that blends lyricism and contemporary music. It opens with Bellini's _Il pirata_, an opera set in medieval Sicily, followed by Chopin's _Piano Concerto No. 2_, inspired by the operatic world and performed by pianist Orli Shaham. The programme closes with John Adams's _Naïve and Sentimental Music_.
