Italian violinist Davide Alogna, a champion of Italian twentieth century repertoire, is the soloist with the London Symphony Orchestra for a program of new works for violin and orchestra. Each work on the program is tonal, often cinematic, and around 5 minutes in duration, serving as an accessible introduction to the composer. The collection showcases eleven composers, several who are new to the WFMT library, including Derek A. McKinney and Sophia Serghi. Alogna performs on a 1690s ‘Stevens’ Stradivari, considered one of the best-sounding Stradivari instruments ever created.
