GRANDES CONCERTOS VIRTUOSOS VI

Part 1 Orquestra Barroca Casa da Música Fabio Biondi violin and musical direction   Antonio Brioschi Sinfonia in Ré Maior

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Sinfonia No.13 em F Maior, K.112; Concerto para Violino n.7

  Part 2 Remix Ensemble Casa da Música Tito Ceccherini musical direction Ilya Gringolts violin   György Ligeti Concerto para violino e orquestra     The violin concerto was created in the Baroque era as a vehicle for communicating and transforming the affections. In the Classical period, the expansion of the orchestra and the consolidation of sonata form and the soloist's cadenza transformed it profoundly. The first part of this concert presents orchestral music associated with the Duchy of Milan, through which Mozart passed intermittently between 1769 and 1773, and where he is thought to have written the Sinfonia em concerto. Ligeti, whose birth centenary is being celebrated, wrote a violin concerto inspired by the past and with two eyes on the future. Contemporary techniques merge with classical models in a unique way. Two virtuosos, two aesthetics, three great concertos.
