It’s back-to-school time. And for the SWF, it’s a spectacular start to the new term.
In two weeks’ time, our new product, SWF D24 – the third volume in our Polydor series – will be released. With the exception of Mendelssohn’s Fingal’s Cave, with its turbulent Romanticism, the programme is generally of a lighter nature, including the particularly lively Third Brandenburg Concerto. Full details of the programme can be found in the project presentation.
On Saturday 17 October, the SWF’s general meeting will be held in Paris. You will receive full details by the end of September.
In the meantime, and to get the season off to a good start, here is an excerpt (mp3) from the overture to Rossini’s La gazza ladra. This isn’t necessarily where one would have expected Furtwängler to go, but he never ceases to surprise us.
