Cello Concerto No.1 C Major – J. Haydn
Max Light Cello Soloist
Written in the early 1760s for Esterházy court cellist Joseph Weigl, is one of the earliest major concertos for the instrument. Long believed lost, it was rediscovered in 1961 in Prague. The three movements highlight the cello’s versatility: a bright and energetic opening, a lyrical and expressive slow movement, and a lively, virtuosic finale. Elegant and spirited, the concerto remains a cornerstone of the cello repertoire.

Sinfonia Veneziana – A. Salieri
Antonio Salieri’s Sinfonia Veneziana reflects the bright, elegant style of late-18th-century orchestral music. Written during the composer’s early career, the work shows the influence of the vibrant musical life of Venice. The piece features lively rhythms, clear melodies, and colorful orchestration typical of the Classical era. Light, energetic, and charming, it offers a vivid glimpse of Salieri’s skill as an orchestral composer.
