Pines of Rome

Respighi’s beloved portrait of the famous pine trees found throughout the city of Rome crowns this vivid program conducted by Dalia Stasevska, whose appearances here have won fervid fans in the audience and the Orchestra. Another fan favorite, Gil Shaham, performs Saint-Saëns’s Third Violin Concerto, a dazzler that fairly bursts with passion-driven fancy fingerwork—the perfect showcase for Shaham’s “purity of intonation” that is “extremely impressive” (Classics Today).
