The BBC Philharmonic's Italian-born Chief Conductor Gianandrea Noseda pays tribute to his native land – and continues our cycle of Mendelssohn symphonies – with the sun-drenched work that the 21-year-old Mendelssohn composed while holidaying in Rome. Inspired by his own student days in Rome, Sir Peter Maxwell Davies's palindromically entitled Roma amor is a serenade to the city.
Our cycle of Respighi's Roman trilogy opens with his vivid tableaux celebrating the capital's famous pines. Rossini's operatic retelling of the Cinderella story was his third stage-work for Rome's Teatro Valle.
