Didcot Concert Orchestra

European Grand Tour

The Didcot Concert Orchestra's Autumn concert takes the listener on a musical journey of locations that inspired composers to write descriptive landscape portraits. Goldmark was a much overlooked Hungarian composer, but his overture to the opera The Queen of Sheba is very tuneful. Polish composer Karłowicz had a gift for melodic story-telling, as exemplified in his beautiful work Eternal Songs. Elgar's wonderful extended concert overture In the South was inspired by an Italian Riviera holiday in Alassio. Respighi's unique and magnificent descriptive symphonic suite The Pines of Rome depicts pine trees in four Rome locations at different times of the day.
