Description

Under renowned conductor Miltos Logiadis, this stylistically rich programme opens with Giovanni Gabrielli’s Canzona XII for winds, in majestic Venetian polychoral style. The Grammy-nominated mandolinist, Avi Avital will interpret one of Vivaldi’s most famous concertos for violin, as well as works inspired by folk traditions: Tsintsadze’s fiery Miniatures (1945) based on Georgian folk tunes and de Falla’s spirited Spanish Dance. Two musical treats complete the programme: Franck’s elegiac, sombre and highly expressive Short pieces and the sarcasm-tinted, relentlessly energetic neoclassical Concerto for small orchestra by Roussel.
