Vienna or Vivaldi’s final journey
Kopatchinskaja, Il Giardino Armonico & Antonini
Orchestral Concert
Friday, 26 August 2022
7.30 pm, Saanen Church
For years, Patricia Kopatchinskaja has accustomed us to her not doing anything like others. The programme she presents here with one of the world's leading period instrument ensembles, Il Giardino Armonico, fits perfectly into this dynamic: it brings Vivaldi's concertos into dialogue with works for solo violin by contemporary Italian composers, most of which she has premiered. And what about Vienna in all this? The imperial capital is, as is often forgotten, the final resting place of the “red-haired priest”. He died there at the end of July 1741 in total destitution and general indifference. Legend has it that at the time of the ceremony reserved for the destitute celebrated in Saint-Etienne, there was a young boy named Joseph Haydn in the choir.
