Vivaldi meets Piazzolla die acht Jahrezeiten

Vivaldi meets Piazzolla

Vivaldi's "Four Seasons" enjoys immense popularity, portraying nature's events and moods through vivid musical language. Composed 300 years ago, the context has shifted, particularly with climate change. Astor Piazzolla's "Cuatro Estaciones Porteñas" focuses on human life in Buenos Aires. The Hamburg Stage Ensemble, a group of young musicians, aims to connect with audiences through intimate performances without a conductor.

Vivaldi: Die Vier Jahreszeiten

So much can be captured: what is known as early music (literally, »old music« in German) has long since no longer only been in the hands of the old guard, who did important pioneering work. More and more young artists, trained in specialised degree programmes, are flocking onto the stages of this world to revive the music of the past few centuries in fresh interpretations. One of the current stars on this scene is French baroque violinist Théotime Langlois de Swarte, who – following his performance in the Elbphilharmonie »Fast Lane« series – you can now experience with his own ensemble Le Consort. On the programme is one work that needs no introduction: Antonio Vivaldi’s »Four Seasons«. The collection of four violin concertos portraying the seasons is one of the earliest and most famous examples of programme music – and surely one of the most popular works of all in the history of music. De Swarte now skilfully combines it in his programme with other concertos and overtures by Vivaldi and his contemporaries – and so makes the seasons appear in a new guise.
