DANIEL SEPEC & IL ROSARIO

Date & Time
Tue, Apr 15, 2025, 19:30
Daniel Sepec has made a specialty of rarely heard Baroque violin repertoire—including Biber’s “Mystery” Sonatas, which he performed to great acclaim at the Pierre Boulez Saal last season. He now returns with another veritable discovery: joined by his longtime musical partners Hille Perl, Lee Santana, and Michael Behringer, Sepec presents violin sonatas by the almost entirely forgotten Italian composer Giovanni Antonio Pandolfi Mealli, written in 1660 while he served as court musician in Innsbruck. The program also includes works by his contemporaries Kapsberger, Bonizzi, Schmelzer, and Biber.

Jakub Józef Orliński / Il Pomo d’Oro

Tue, Sep 17, 2024, 20:00
Elbphilharmonie, Großer Saal (Hamburg)
Jakub Józef Orliński (Countertenor), Il Pomo d’Oro
Jakub Józef Orliński bridges the gap between the past and the present effortlessly: with a warm, radiant voice and rousing enthusiasm, the countertenor, who has already won the OPUS KLASSIK award three times, transports his audience to centuries long past. And yet he is not an artist who loses himself in the past – on the contrary. Orliński’s sparkling charm and his sympathetically sober view of things like success and career are as unpretentious as they are contemporary. In this ProArte concert, you can look forward to his excursion into the musically incredibly rich world of the Italian Baroque.

Il Giardino Armonico / Antonini / Faust / Music by Antonio Vivaldi

Sun, Jan 26, 2025, 19:30
Giovanni Antonini (Conductor), Il Giardino Armonico, Isabelle Faust (Violin)
Although today Antonio Vivaldi is best known for the Four Seasons, in the 18th century, the collection L'estro armonico became famous as one of the most influential instrumental pieces of music of the time. Published in 1711, the series of 12 concertos met with great acclaim, and the composer immediately became a significant figure on the international scene. The very accurate title also shows that the composer was aware of the momentous nature of the work. Undoubtedly, we are dealing with Vivaldi's brilliant vision. This is Vivaldi at his best: lively and brilliant, reaching for extended cantilenas, written with a wonderful sense of pure joy of music-making, spontaneity, a sense of mutual fun and ensemble play. When properly interpreted, the relentless and growing energy of these concertos is reminiscent of the morning sun wandering across a room – and this is precisely the kind of interpretation we can expect from Il Giardino Armonico and Isabelle Faust as soloist. Alexandra KozowiczConcert duration (intermission included): approximately 120 minutes
