Mendelssohn & Pines of Rome 2025
published: 28 Jul 2025, 2 min read
when: 29 Jul 2025 | venue: Hollywood Bowl | cost: $13-$151 | address: 2301 Highland Ave, Los Angeles 90068When in Rome, do as the Romans do! Italian conductor Daniele Rustioni makes his LA Phil debut in an evening of Roman delights and more. Berlioz’s dashing overture kicks off the festivities with an airy fluttering of strings and charming English horn melodies, while Respighi’s colorful Pines of Rome offers the sounds of children frolicking in the groves, Gregorian chants echoing through the catacombs, and nightingales singing to the moon. As peaceful as it may sound, the Pines nonetheless is a grand and fast-paced flight, bookended by glistening brass fanfares that leave audiences awestruck.
Between these works, the Los Angeles Philharmonic bolts through Liszt’s mighty mythological symphonic poem and reunites with violinist Veronika Eberle for the first time in 16 years. Praised for “her ability to change the color palette in a stroke of her bow” (Bachtrack), Eberle takes on one of the most treasured violin concertos of all time. A familiar melody launches Mendelssohn’s concerto into action with urgency and fervor, allowing the soloist to spring through the piece’s intricate, seamless movements of shadowy drama and blizzard-like exhilaration.
