Evelyn Rothwell (oboe)
BBC Symphony Orchestra
(Leader. Paul Beard)
Conducted by Sir John Barbirolli
The Italian composer Mario Castelnuovo -Tedesco was born in Florence in 1895, and after studying in his native city became a pupil of Pizzetti. He settled in America in 1939. He is the possessor of a lively musical imagination which has found expression in operas and in orchestral and chamber works. A keen interest in Shakespeare has resulted in seven Shakespearean concert overtures, and settings (in English, for voice and piano) of all the songs in the plays; he has also written several delightful works for the guitar. His Concerto da Camera, Op. 146B, was written in California in September 1950 and dedicated ' to my dear friends Evelyn and John Barbirolli. * Evelyn Rothwell (who in private life is Lady Barbirolli) played it for the first time at a Promenade Concert in July last year. There are four movements.
