Α musical encounter of our honourary conductor Alkis Baltas with both, the CySO and Savvas Lagou, one of its violinists and the featured soloist in Mozart’s Third Violin Concerto. Distinctive for its gracefully ornate solo writing, especially in the cadenzas, this lightly orchestrated concerto is one of the five that Mozart wrote during his lifetime, all composed in 1775 at the early age of 19.
Our concert opens with yet another classical delight: Joseph Haydn’s exquisitely vivacious and lyrical Overture in D major, written two years later in 1777.
“Triptychon” by Alkis Baltas will be receiving its Cyprus premiere in this programme. Commissioned in 1978 by a German company, it was premiered in Berlin the same year, by an orchestra consisting of members of the Deutsche Oper Berlin, under the direction of the composer. It is distinguished for its use of contrapuntal techniques within a more contemporary style.
Τhe Suite no. 2 is one of the earliest examples of Stravinsky’s neoclassical tendencies and ranks among his lightest and most amusing works.
