®Marco-Borggreve Orchestra della Toscana – Balázs Kocsár & Alexey Stadler
Florence, Teatro Verdi — main
About the Event
An exciting event beckons on the Hungarian music scene with a new ORT commission, led by the esteemed conductor Balázs Kocsár. Known throughout Europe for his mastery in opera houses and concert venues, Kocsár introduces a yet‐to‐be‐published piece by Paolo Catenaccio. Born in 1998, this Italian composer captivates with music both refined and concise, frequently engaging in dialogue with solo instruments and classical forms.
This commission for cello and orchestra offers a platform for Alexey Stadler, a Russian soloist renowned for his deep sensitivity. With training under Rostropovič, Stadler has received accolades performing with maestros like Gergiev, Eschenbach, and Currentzis. He will present Tchaikovsky’s Variations on a Rococo Theme, Op. 33 (1876), originally altered by cellist Fitzenhage but later restored to align with Tchaikovsky’s classical vision.
The evening concludes with the 'Linz' Symphony by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, composed in just a few days in 1783. Celebrated for its elegance and brilliance, it stands as one of Mozart’s most joyful symphonic creations.
