Event Description

An exciting lesson in rhetoric with Mozart and Maestro Antonini

Chief conductor Michael Sanderling is looking to uphold the Luzerner Sinfonieorchester’s chamber symphony tradition as it moves towards large-scale repertoire. The aim is to “complement long musical lines and endless cantabile with the rhetoric so intrinsic to the music of Mozart and Beethoven.” This involves sharpening the orchestra’s profile in classical and baroque playing styles, of which this concert, with guest conductor Giovanni Antonini, is a perfect example. With his complete recordings of the Beethoven symphonies, Antonini is one of the most distinguished and exciting figures on the period performance scene. In excerpts from Alessandro Scarlatti’s opera about the murder of a usurper he conjures powerful baroque dramatic effects, in the company of the versatile and mesmerising soprano, Egyptian-born Fatima Said. Also reminiscent of theatrical entanglements is the sparkling vitality of Mozart’s “Prague” Symphony, in which the polyphonic voices interweave briskly, tenderly, longingly, just like the characters in an imaginary opera. Pure rhetoric!
