Didcot Concert Orchestra

"Summer in Europe" – A refreshing summer sorbet of a concert, with Prokofiev's dazzling Classical Symphony opening a glittering programme of summery classical music gems. Lyadov's last piece then makes a lyrical contrast. The Czech Suite's five dance-like movements seem to portray summery feelings in Dvořák's homeland, while Lars Erik Larsson's Pastoral Suite evokes high-latitude long-day Swedish summers - the piece is written in a neo-classical style similar to Prokofiev's Classical Symphony. A true classic masterpiece concludes our concert - the charming and high-spirited Eighth Symphony of Beethoven, written in the summer of 1812 and popular ever since.
