Conductor Giordano Bellincampi Violin Arabella Steinbacher Rossini La Cenerentola: Overture Mozart Violin Concerto No.5 'Turkish' Beethoven Symphony No.5 Est. running time one hour and 30 minutes including a 20-minute interval Start with a splash of champagne, as Giordano Bellincampi and the Auckland Philharmonia dash off Rossini's scintillating overture to his opera on the Cinderella story. The superb German violinist Arabella Steinbacher is always effortlessly elegant, and she has the perfect foil in Mozart's final violin concerto. Then Beethoven's lithe, muscular symphony. The Fifth is a favourite for a reason. No matter how many times you've heard this piece, it's always unbelievably exciting.
