F. Chizhevsky, S. Kasyan, Questa Musica - Luciano Berio Folk Songs (10/10/2020, Tretyakov Gallery)

The concert program includes the music of the 18th century classicist Haydn and the 20th century neoclassical artists Stravinsky and Berio.
The "Basel" concerto was commissioned by Stravinsky from Paul Sacher, conductor of the Basel Chamber Orchestra and later founder of the largest Stravinsky musical foundation. At the heart of the Stravinsky Concerto are references to popular music (jazz and Broadway musicals) dressed in a rigid classical construction.

Berio 's "Folk Songs" as well as Stravinsky's "Basel Concerto" appeared on the wave of the revived interest of avant-garde composers in the music of the past. Digging deeper, Berio chose songs from different countries and eras for his cycle. Genuine folk melodies, whether the Armenian song Loosin yelav, which sings about the rising moon, or the playful French Rossignolet du bois, about how to win the heart of a beautiful girl, are presented in a delicate instrumental setting. The composer created a cycle for his first wife Cathy Berberian, an American singer of Armenian origin.

Bridges from Stravinsky and Berio lead to the 18th century, to Haydn's Farewell Symphony. In an interview, Philip Chizhevsky called Haydn "the foremost avant-garde artist of his time." According to the composer's idea, in the "Farewell" symphony, in the slow part following the traditional finale, the musicians extinguish the candles one by one and leave the stage.
