Evangelista, who taught at the Faculty of Music from 1979 to 2009, draws inspiration from the classical music of India and the concept of raga in Alap & Gat. Fascinated by the Scottish landscapes he discovered on a holiday trip, Mendelssohn re-created their atmosphere in his Third Symphony. And as for Shostakovich, he composed his Concerto No. 2 for his son, creating a cheerful work imbued with light-hearted humor and a poetry filled with freshness.
