SUMMARY:Kluxen & Choi – Prokofiev Classical & Haydn Cello Concerto
DESCRIPTION:Rossini’s mischievous Il signor Bruschino Overture sparkles with wit and charm—proof that classical can also be playful. Hayoung Choi\, winner of the 2022 Queen Elisabeth Competition\, brings brilliance and elegance to Haydn’s much loved Cello Concerto No. 1. Prokofiev’s Classical Symphony playfully reimagines eighteenth-century forms through a modern lens\, before Haydn returns to close with Symphony No. 75\, whose humour and grace remind us that true classicism is always alive\, never antique.
