In Respighi’s Ancient Airs and Dances, lute songs of the Renaissance are transformed into dramatic music for the modern string orchestra. Dvořák’s famous Serenade brings his trademark Czech lyricism to the string ensemble, creating lush textures and dazzling virtuosity. The brilliance of one of history’s great Renaissance men, the Classical era composer and revolutionary colonel Joseph Bologne, Chevalier de Saint-Georges, shines in his tuneful G major violin concerto, performed by Caitlin Kelley.
