The Four Seasons, four Church Windows and a piece by Josef Mysliveček who gained the nickname The Bohemian - that is the line-up for tonight’s concert exploring the marvellous instrumental music of Italy, a country to which the musical world owes a great deal in terms of the development of many instruments, musical notation, theory, technique and form, not to mention the origin and development of the oratorio and opera. And it was Italy, too, that gave rise over 500 years ago to instrumental music as a genre in its own right, and played a major role in the way the genre flourished and evolved.
Our programme features Vivaldi’s immortal set of four violin concertos, Respighi’s exceptionally colourful stained glass windows, and a work by Josef Mysliveček, who is known to have enjoyed enormous - and entirely deserved - fame in Italy. The solo pieces are performed tonight by our Orchestra’s in-house concertmasters Ivana Kovalčíková and Pavel Mikeska, under the baton of conductor Tomáš Brauner.
