Work: Concerto for strings in G major, RV 151 "Alla rustica”

Craig Ogden in Castelnuovo-Tedesco's Guitar Concerto no. 1 is the highlight of the Northern Chamber Orchestra's varied concert of (mostly) Italian music in Macclesfield.

Picture a warm May evening, walking the narrow, silent, cool streets of the ancient capital of Malta, then sitting amongst a magnificent collection of 17th- and 18th-century art with a promise of secrets!This was the setting for a concert – no, in fact, a spectacular – held on Friday 10 May at the Cathedral Museum, Mdina.

Da meistens zu behäbig und uninspiriert, ging diese Fechtschule unter Trainer Haselböck nur knapp ohne Niederlage der Beteiligten aus.
