Virtuosos 43. DREAMSCAPES. NEW SEASONS

Surprisingly, listeners of different generations are able to hear even well-known works in different ways. It’s not the first time the Philharmonic has performed the music of Greek composer Michalis Travlos, but this time the premiere is unexpected! Michalis Travlos has collected his own allusions to his time in Poland in his “Concertante”.

The work of the Czech composer of the last century, Erwin Schulhoff, is also associated with the rethinking of the achievements of previous centuries. For our contemporary, London-based composer Max Richter, The Four Seasons became one of the first musical impressions that began to fade over the years, so in 2012 the composer decided to take a bold and ambitious step – to enter into a dialogue with Vivaldi himself, to record his own reinterpretation. We invite you to get new impressions of the classics crystallized over the years performed by the tandem of Lviv Virtuosos under the trampoline of Volodymyr Syvokhip and the soloists of the concert.
