Amanda Favier & Orchestre Dijon Bourgogne

Etkinlik Hakkında

The Orchestre Dijon Bourgogne continues its crossed survey of classical and modern repertoires with a programme linking the most Mozartian of symphonies from Schubert’s youth and the most Baroque and Italian of concertos by Haydn, with a view to tossing out all preconceptions and broadening our horizons.

With the Symphony No. 3, luminous, balanced and full of youthful vigour, we find Schubert in his early years, still full of life and hope. The Violin Concerto No. 1, written for Luigi Tomasini, the virtuoso from the Esterházy orchestra where Haydn held his post at the time, offers the particularity of being exclusively for strings and clearly turns its eye towards the Italian style, all the while affirming the form and structure of the music from Vienna. It thus constitutes the final step in the long evolution that led from the concerto grosso to the modern violin concerto.

Amanda Favier plays a magnificent Italian violin by Matteo Goffriller (Venice 1723), and excels in capturing the values and refinement of these two Viennese composers from the 18th century, Mozart and Haydn.
