About

The musicians of the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra put the pedal to the floor in two bedazzling showpieces by Respighi. The Italian conductor Jader Bignamini makes his ASO debut after presenting these works at the Kennedy Center, driving the audience to their feet for multiple curtain calls. The ASO welcomes the Italian violin sensation Giuseppe Gibboni. Winner of the Paganini International Violin Competition, the Devil-may-care young fiddler performs (what else?) the Paganini Violin Concerto No. 1. Bignamini fans the flames with a concert opener by Bottesini.
