There鈥檚 a chill in the air and the nights are drawing in, but here鈥檚 a concert from superstar oboist Fran莽ois Leleux that simply bursts with sunshine. Mendelssohn鈥檚 depiction of Shakespearian shenanigans glows in the light of a balmy summer evening, while his sun-dappled 鈥業talian鈥� Symphony is as ripe and zesty as a freshly-plucked lemon.
Louise Farrenc鈥檚 first Overture bounds along with energy and invention; and Leleux plays for us, too, in his own arrangements of arias from two of Mozart鈥檚 most celebrated operas. An evening of feel-good favourites so dazzling that you might need a pair of sunglasses.
